Answer 2

Well, when you are buying locally grown food, you aren't wasting fossil fuels to have your food travel from one place to another. A good example is transfer of food by train. Some trains burn coal for fuel, releasing Greenhouse gasses, unlike buying food that is locally grown.

I hope this helps!

Answer 3

Bonnie -- you're right, but how do your examples affect biodiversity?
