Persona Profile

We are trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions that are caused via food exports by encouraging the use of garden clubs in schools and local communities.
We’d like to encourage other schools to start gardening clubs. Gardening can improve mental health and improve environmental wellness. Starting gardening clubs could encourage future generations about sustainable agriculture and teach them how to take care of plant life and eventually the environment
The higher concern of food mileage, which causes more co2 to enter the atmosphere and contribute to global warming, garden clubs could encourage future generations to maybe eat more locally sourced produce rather than always just eating foods from abroad.
We discovered that avocados, despite being a superfood, are a high contributor to co2 emissions when it comes to food exports
Any advertising ideas to promote the garden clubs not only in our school but locally? How do we do this on a tight budget? What seeds would be best to buy during this season and spring?
