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. What statement BEST summarizes the fifth paragraph of this speech?
