Hi,
My name is Noah. I have the topic of “Local vs non-local environmental impact”. My first question was: What are the differences between local and non-local food? I thought it would be good to see the differences. I found out that local food has a lot of benefits, but the biggest difference was the transportation that local food minimizes. I thought hard on my second question then finally it struck me “What kind of transportation is the most harmful for the environment?”. When I found out the answer I was thinking about ''Can local food sometimes be more harmful to the environment than non-local food?” then I made it my 3rd question. While I was doing some research I found a website read its page and found something INCREDIBLE!!! That got me on the right track for finding my 4th question. I read some more and then BOOM I thought of a perfect question “What is more harmful for the environment, what you eat or where it was produced?” Now I was thinking why did I choose this topic and why did I like it. I found the answer, because I wanted to make a change in the world and I wanted other people to notice what we are doing.

Hallo,
Ich heiße Noah. Ich habe das Thema „Lokale und nicht lokale Umweltauswirkungen“. Meine erste Frage war: Was sind die Unterschiede zwischen lokalem und nicht lokalem Essen? Ich dachte, es wäre gut, die Unterschiede zu sehen. Ich fand heraus, dass lokales Essen viele Vorteile hat, aber der größte Unterschied war der Transport, den lokales Essen minimiert. Ich dachte intensiv über meine zweite Frage nach und dachte schließlich darüber nach: „Welche Art von Transport ist für die Umwelt am schädlichsten?“. Als ich die Antwort herausfand, dachte ich über "Kann lokales Essen manchmal umweltschädlicher sein als nicht lokales Essen?" dann habe ich es meine 3. Frage gemacht. Während ich recherchierte, fand ich eine Website, auf der ich etwas UNGLAUBLICHES fand !!! Das hat mich auf den richtigen Weg gebracht, um meine 4. Frage zu finden. Ich las noch etwas und dann dachte BOOM an eine perfekte Frage: "Was ist schädlicher für die Umwelt, was isst du oder wo wurde es hergestellt?" Jetzt dachte ich, warum ich dieses Thema gewählt habe und warum es mir gefallen hat. Ich dachte, ich hätte die Antwort gefunden, weil ich die Welt verändern wollte und ich wollte, dass andere Menschen bemerken, was wir tun.
Cool facts:
Sometimes Local Food is not always the best. Here is an example:
They wanted to see what produces more Co2 local tomatoes that are grown in green houses, or non-local tomatoes grown in its natural. As you can see the local food is not always the better for the environment.
Air transportation is the most harmful transportation. Boat transportation is the cleanest kind of transportation. Lorry or truck transportation is the most used and air is the least used.
Here is an example of a proof that boat is the cleanest type of transportation. As you can see a boat produces less when it travels from Mexico to the UK and a truck just from UK to Spain or Spain to UK.
