Buying locally is really important for the environment because all the pesticides get into our food and water and by buying locally your reducing the greenhouse gases and emissions from the cars.

Sarah: I think buying locally is important for the health of the community and also reducing the carbon footprint that’s coming from in and around Sudbury. You’re not shipping it from somewhere as far as Argentina or New Zealand. You can get galla apples all year round from New Zealand. Brian: And I think its just more fresh and delicious and better for your body so eat local.

Buying local is very important because it reduces greenhouse emissions and you get to keep in contact with more people. It also reduces pesticides.

Its important to buy local so that you can support our farmers and the economic system in Sudbury because the economic system is really down right now so its probably a little important for money.

Its important to buy local because you want to support your local farmers and if stuff is grown locally why wouldn’t you want to.

Buying local food is important because it supports our local farmers. It provides us with the food that we need because we could actually feed Northern Ontario with Northern farmers and secondly, we can actually reduce our carbon footprint.

I think that buying local food is important because you know what the food is usually and because you would get a taste of your local community almost.
