Question

question 9 of 10
eating local food is often considered a way to go green and help the
environment. why does locally grown food tend to have a small impact on the
environment?

a. it travels more miles.

b. it is less nutritious.

c. it is more nutritious.

d. it travels fewer miles.

Explanation:

Locally grown food doesn't need to be transported long distances. Transporting food over many miles uses fuel and emits greenhouse gases. So less travel (fewer miles) reduces environmental impact. Options A is wrong (more miles would harm more), B and C relate to nutrition, not environmental impact.

Answer:

D. It travels fewer miles.
