By eating locally produced food you can lower the average consumer's greenhouse gas emissions, and purchasing and eating locally grown foods can also help keep your area alive and booming. My family and I have a garden at home where we like to plant things such as carrots.

I think that this is a good idea and can help lower our carbon footprints!

Laurenhotts12 suggestion is great because we are lowering our own carbon footprints, as well as lowering the greenhouse emission that is used to deliver these products to the store. Another solution to lowering greenhouse gas emission is to grow food in your own yard. Currently, I have grown tomatoes, chilies and squash in my backyard which has saved my family money to buy from the grocery store and has lowered my carbon footprint by making me travel less to the store with a vehicle. Lastly, if we cannot grow our own vegetables, we can also purchase all our vegetables and fruits from the closest grocery store that provides locally grown food. This will lower our carbon emission and support local farmers during this pandemic.

I agree that purchasing locally grown foods is important because it makes it easier to tell where and how that food was grown, and you support a local farm all while reducing your carbon footprint. Even more important is, if possible, growing your own fruits and vegetables in a  home or community garden. This way you control how its grown, there's no delivery or shipping, and it saves you money. Over the summer my family and I grow all of our vegetables in our back yard, this way we can reduce our carbon footprint while saving money.
