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?

Replace Package Food Items with Home Grown
I propose as a community we should produce a local farm where all packing will be reusable. Plastic materials are everywhere. We use plastic bags, straws and plastic bottles for such a short time and then we dispose of it.When plastic is produced, it’s made from toxic materials such as benzene and vinyl hydrochloride. It is destined to be toxic from birth to forever. These chemicals are known to cause cancer, and the manufacturing byproducts contaminate our air and soil. Not only does it affect our atmosphere but it also harms our wildlife. According to "OCEAN PLASTICS POLLUTION", "Plastic accumulating in our oceans and on our beaches has become a global crisis. Billions of pounds of plastic can be found in swirling convergences that make up about 40 percent of the world's ocean surfaces. At current rates plastic is expected to outweigh all the fish in the sea by 2050". We need to protect our wildlife just as much as our atmosphere. Soon there may not be much le ft of either. Thats why s a community lets start with a small project to fine a reusable packing and ban all and any use of plastics in the Bay Area.
