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?

Everyone should have a garden at home

I personally believe that everybody should have their own garden at home. At my house since we have such a large family we enjoy growing our own food instead of buy food at a store which can be quit expensive. Its a great sustainable way to help out the enviornment. It also reduces our carbon footprint since most people drive a car or vehicle to go grocery shopping. Even if its a "quick trip" for one thing you just released carbon if you used your car to get tp the supermarket. Yes I understand that you can't grow things like chips or most dry snacks, but I am more focused on the produce part of your grocery needs.

I think this would be a fun way to help the environment. You could work with your family and have your own family garden. This would improve both your carbon footprint and the environment. Gardens are not hard to start or maintain if you truly care about it.

In some areas that people live in growing food is just not an option. For example what about in New York are they supposed to just starve during the winter time when its cold and they cant grow anything. You might say they can just get a greenhouse well not everyone can afford that and for people that live in apartments this would not work for them.

Having a garden is a great idea. You get all the fruits and vegetables you need and you know its all organic and fresh. You could go tot he store to get your fruits and vegetables, but you never know what's in them. You never know what GMO's could be put in your fruits and vegetables. They don't have to tell you. Plus, eating healthy cost way more than eating regular food with fats in it. They want you to get fat so that you'll buy more foods. When you are at your own house growing your own food you know exactly what everything is and that nothing happened to it.
