    The website is short and to the point, what i really like about this article is that it is easy to read, compared to the other "sustainability" websites that have so much jargon.

    this website was easy to understand and interesting all at the same time. It gives a run down on the technology that is being applied now to help the the sustainability within our environment. This is also gives a sneak peek into what technology that they plan to improve on and introduce hopefully within the near future.

    An estimated forty-five to fifty percent of food is discarded each year by Americans.That makes it an economic problem for everyone. In a country known as the "throw away" society we are destroying the planet with methane, mountains of food waste that could of been eaten, and wasting money that could of been saved.

    Nearly 50% of all food ready for harvest gets thrown away, according to a study done by the University of Arizona! Sometimes the crops can't be saved due to mother nature, but in most cases food waste happens because we have been trained to only look at the perfect looking food.

    Remember when your mom told you to eat all you food? This restaurant goes by what mom says. If you finish you food you get a discount. On the other hand if you don't you get a fee and can't come back.

  • Donnie Druin on 22 Mar 14
     
    Global warming, depending on who you talk to, is a myth or a fact. People love the fact that they can own some property in a southwestern state such as Arizona, and flock here during the cold winter months. With that being said, the heat is something that drives away potential buyers every year.

This being based on their every day routines, and interactions with food; one being that they waste approximately 4.6 pounds of trash a day. Environmentally speaking this is not headed in a good direction for America.
