How much does eating locally-produced food help the climate problem? What are the other potential environmental and social benefits of eating locally-grown/produced food? Do you have a food garden in your school or at home? If not, do you want one?

fish plant system
if you grow fish in a large, closed, and elevated box with a drip system that slowly drips water into the plants growing underneath them, and have a large rain water bucket that during the winter you can use to put in the fish box when needed then you can grow fish and vegetables/fruits from your own back yard. Also, if you have an enclosed plant system with a large tube leading to the top of the fish container (where there is air) the plants can thrive off of the carbon the fish create by breathing and the plants can provide oxygen into the air, so that is less carbon being released into the atmosphere. Plus, you are wasting less water by using rain water. This reduces carbon foot print because instead of going to the store in a car or something (which emits carbon into the atmosphere), you are doing it in your own back yard.
Good idea!
