locally we can save the world

I felt that this weeks reading and last week readings had a lot in common. The main points in the readings was that buying locally foods and supplies will help out environment, ecological footprint and save us money. some key reasons to buy locally are Fewer or no chemicals to preserve the food, lower shipping costs using less fuels, Less packaging/ package waste, and it also Promotes/supports your community. buying local products does a lot of things for the environment even though it can cost a little more in the long run it is saving our economy money, but it is also a lot more beneficial on the planet with less machines, work, and gas to get you the same supplies you can get right in your backyard in your community. it depends how you look at things if you want to get things shipped in it might be cheaper and give you more quantity, but if you buy locally you know what you are getting and it is of better quality, it is your choice on which you would rather prefer but if you want to do more for yourself, community, and economically, than you should buy locally. This readings had made me better and more aware on how much just buying locally produce and building materials are really so much beneficial to you as a person knowing what you are getting an eating healthier foods with out hormones and pesticides all over and in it, but it is also a lot more beneficial for everyone cutting down on package materials, traveling materials, and not to mention the fuel needed to transport all of these supplies causing pollution and travel fees when I have access to purchase these things right in front of me. The readings have opened my eyes on how buy local products can make a big difference and how I'm going to be better at supporting and buying local products.
