Hi, my name is Kevin. I am a senior at Oakland High School and I was wondering, would growing our own greens help reduce the CO2 level and help slow down climate change?

Yes because it would reduce the transportation need. For your school you should try planting an organic garden and have students and teachers take care of it. It would be a good community project and you'd have great organic vegetables.

There isn't enough food because of some parts of the world, there's not enough resource too have food. Places like Africa doesn't have farms and factories that can produce food, but compared to the U.S we have alot of those everywhere and we can produce alot and sell it. -

I agree with you, Jerry. Also, some people just don't have enough money to buy food for their family. Other places may have money, but their country doesn't have enough rain to grow crops.

Hello, my name is Eric and I am a high school student. We recently tested our carbon footprints and found out how much food consumption contributed to carbon footprint. My carbon footprint isn’t incredibly high, but I could lower it by purchasing locally grown food. However, it is difficult to convince my mom to do because of the high costs associated with locally produced food. My school does have a small vegetable garden that produces and sells food occassionally.

Dear Eric, my mom purchases locally grown food without having to spend a lot of money by going to the supermarket.She goes every Sunday and buys lots of veggies and fruits.You could also try planting your own food at home if you have a garden. It will help!

Hi my name is Adam Evans and I eat a lot so my food consumption is higher than average. I think that is because I’m a pretty serious runner so I need the extra food.

food & hunger is a very serious topic because it saddens me that saddens me that some people cant even afford the main necessity of life; food.

I know that my carbon footprint for food, 660, isn’t incredibly high, but I really believe that I could bring it down even more. I plan to take advantage of the garden space that I have, I can grow food for myself instead of just for my rabbit.

I’m Candace Sibal, you can say I eat a lot because my food usage is 3800kg compared to your average Washingtonian which is 2704kg. But the difference between me and other people is that I’m not actually hungry, I just eat when I want to cause I’m bored and it tastes good. I feel like if I were president I would make there be an easier way to send my leftovers to Africa and places where people like to eat a lot of junk like I do.

You bring up a fantastic point! As humans we want food and it's necessary for us to eat. But it also increases our carbon footprint. YOU just bring up a fantastic point.
