My dinner the other day consisted of garden fresh, home grown fruits and veggies. Three of those foods were, carrots, green beans, and strawberries. all of which had been grown in my families garden that is located in our back yard located in Oconto, Wisconsin. This garden is tended to everyday (or so I'm told). The affects associated with the growing of my meal would be the depletion of nutrients in the soil, and the reduction of habitat, as the area where the garden is was once part of a woods. There were no chemicals used what so ever in the production of these goods.
This meal was brought to my my own to legs. I personally went out and picked them fresh shortly before washing and eating them. The good that traveled the farthest was the green beans because they are located in a spot that is farthest away from my dinner table. All of these goods are considered local, because they were grown in my own back yard. This food had no waste to speak of (yet).
