Think about the foods you eat every day. How many of them are from around the
world? A lot of pollution is made getting those foods to us. And take a look at the
nutrition facts. How many of the foods that you eat are healthy? What we all should

community gardens. This way, we would not only know where our food comes from,
but we would be eating more healthy food. Everyone should do this as soon as
possible.
