Excerpt from The Value of Community Gardens
Sarah Post
5 We'll donate the rest of the food to local soup kitchens and community food banks. This will ensure that all community
members have access to the fresh fruits and vegetables necessary for a nutritious diet. This program will also help the
environment by cutting down on the amount of fruits and vegetables your community imports from large agricultural
communities. Eating locally grown food can drastically decrease the amount of fossil fuels released into the environment by
reducing the need to ship in fruits and vegetables via tractor-trailers. In addition, the plants that you grow will improve air
quality by removing harmful toxins such as carbon dioxide from the air
