Food has a bigger impact on the environment than expected. Although we go to the grocery store and pick up food, there is a much longer process that releases more fossil fuels and garbage. There is transportation to get the food to the grocery store, additionally, the packaging on the food adds extra plastic into the world. This is a lot of work for one item, however, this can be changed by having a garden at home or locally growing food. This also produces healthier foods that not only help the environment but benefit each persons diet. Although an at home garden requires work, the pros outweigh the cons with supplying fresh greens and minimizing plastic.
