Growing our own food bit by bit
Most of the food we but is locally sourced. I saw how this impacted my carbon footprint results and it was made even clearer to me how important eating local is. Eating local can be difficult especially if you live somewhere where it is hard to grow/raise food. However, every little bit counts. For example, even if you don’t live in a great farming climate you could start eating locally but replacing storage-bought jarred herbs with growing your own herbs either inside out out, and continue from there. Every way we can decrease our carbon footprint helps the world 
I agree! This is something I have been phasing into my family’s dietary routine every year. We come from Florida where it it very difficult to grow your own veggies. With our move up north however our garden booms durring the summer. With the support of local farmers this has become very easy for us. In addition Buying locally in another crucial element to this topic. Even when your garden is frozen you still have the chance to buy locally. This will not only reduce your carbon Footprint but also support our small town business.
