What dose sustainability and buying/eating local mean to you? Draw from personal experience/incorporate personal anecdote if possible.

In my opinion, sustainability is the capability to protect the environment, limit unnecessary waste, and benefit the next generation. Sustainability is important in modern world as resources are limited while population continues to grow rapidly. Sustainability is something we can all reach.

To buy and eat locally is one easy way to be sustainable. To buy locally means to purchase food and fruits from surrounding farms; and to eat locally means to eat in restaurants which use local ingredients. To buy and eat locally can not only support local farmers but also reduce the use of vehicles for transportation as well as emission of carbon dioxide. Buying locally may sometimes costs more, but in return, we usually get fresher food and make contribution to the economy of the region we live in. To me, in additionally, eating locally is a joy. In Guangdong, China, different rural areas have different signature dishes. Thus, eating locally in different places is a great adventure, and I usually encounter delicious food unexpectedly in different local restaurants.
