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?

Gardens

Gardens are a very effective way of reducing your carbon footprint as you are planting things that will help clean the atmosphere. Also, you could be spending less money on a meal or two.

Great idea. The plants suck up the carbon and a good vegie garden can provide with plenty of food that you don't even have to drive to a supermarket to buy. In Australia many families have their own vegie garden and we share vegies with others too.

good idea
but it costs as much to buy the materials but you could just buy it all fron the supermarket or you could go to a local farmer that has a paddock full of vegies and buy it.

In Australia we often share our vegetables that we grow at home and also we sell them at markets. It's a great way to reduce carbon and to help out others. Our climate is really good for growing vegies all year round.

So Alphabet man, have you considered that driving to the supermarket is not the only problem with your ideas. How do the vegetables get to the supermarket? They come in huge trucks, across the country that use gallons and gallons of diesel. Supporting a supermarket when you can buy local from markets or grow your own is exactly what we are trying to prevent. More trucks and driving equals more emissions and more carbon problems.

Gardens are a good thing for people to have as it turns carbon dioxide into oxygen. Homegrown veggies taste much better the supermarket ones, since there are chemicals in them. A lot of people in Australia buy Australian fruits and vegetables to support local farmers. Growing your vegetable garden will also save you money and time to buy them.
