    This article expressly greatly on our food waste, its also think with the author of "American wasteland", which we are familiar with. U.S economy continues its downward spiral, and this article tells us a little on that.

    American Wasteland, a book written by Jonathan Bloom talks about the statistics of the food waste in America. This artice in particular gives us the option to look into even more statistics of how severe the food waste in America has become today. These numbers keep gradually increasing sending our whole stability on Earth out of line. The more food we waste the more food we expect to grow. However the harsh conditions we expect Earth to withstand are apalling; Not only the soil but the atmophere are at risk of causing serious damages to the future of life as we know it

    This article gives a clear picture of just how much food we waste a day. It talks about how Americans fill a football stadium each day with the amount of food we waste and how that negatively effects the environment. It also touches on how we are a society that went from having many farmers and a greater appreciation for the work that went into growing the food to not knowing or caring where it came from and how much we waste.

    The number of food wasted worldwide is huge. Our uneaten fruits and vegetables add to the total amount of food waste. Another, factor that adds to food waste is edible food being thrown out because of the self-life date. If there was a way for packaging to extend the life of opened food it would help cut down or food waste. Reports show financial, managerial and technical restrictions in harvesting, and the different climates in facilities have more to do with food waste.

    While the study isn't on food waste, specifically, there's plenty of insight on the topic. "Digging" found that food was the single largest material generated by schools, amounting to 24 percent of the total waste generated. That's about double the percentage in the (regular) municipal solid waste stream!

    The food waste is starting to affect our environment. With the food being wasted daily, the need for more food is strict and the more access to food, the more people are becoming obese. Food is energy and we need energy to survive.

    It seems governments and people are putting effort to achieve sustainability. World Commission on Environment and Development said a sustainable society "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Living sustainably, there would be no waste, and we would use half the amount of energy and materials budget we do now. "We need self-respect, identity, community, love, variety, beauty, challenge, and a purpose in living that is greater than material accumulation."

    Food waste ranges from 25 - 75 percent, depending on the food type, that amounts to 1.3 tons of edible food that's tossed each year. The food industry creates up to 30% of the world's annual carbon emissions. That's not it, it creates more emissions once it's discarded to landfills.

    They compare the amount of food waste that is thrown out each year as the "equivalent" of throwing away 350 billion barrels of oil away. It says Americans could save about 2% of its total energy consumption in a year if we would be more careful about food waste.

    Most foods are thrown away while still being fully edible because of cosmetic blemishes or overstocking. Food industry alliance are planning a 3 year initiative to reduce the tremendous amount of food waste. The environmental consequences are endless.

    The Grocery Manufacturers Association is conducting a plan to donate more food instead of throwing it away. They are being financed by the Food Marketing Institute to help with transportation and the restoration of food. They will begin by conducting surveys in regards to why the food is being thrown out in the first place then act on their findings.

    According to the most recent available statistics, more than 30 million tons of food was dumped in landfills in 2009, making food by far the most abundant material there by weight, the federal Environmental Protection Agency says. (That calculation excludes industrial, construction and hazardous waste.) This amounts roughly to 200 pounds a year for every man, woman and child in the United States.

    These graphs show basic images to help give a descriptive idea of how much food waste is happening in America. They talk about the disposal of the food and how it becomes a danger to our world by the methane gases it produces. Recycling, of course, is always a benefit for our environment; however, we need to inform more people about this.

    By generating food waste has significant economic as well as environmental consequences. Parts of your budget goes to buying food, but yet we waste it with out even thinking anything of it. If i was to give someone 20 dollars and then say throw it away they would look at me like i'm crazy. But this is what we are doing!

It also talks about how fruits and vegetables are not accepted because they do not meet the supermarkets standards. It also mentions how school lunches get thrown out and how we cause gas emissions by growing food we do not eat.

    The average person throws away about 20 pounds of food each month, that adds up between $28-$43. The United Nations has predicted that the U.S. will need about 70 percent more food to feed the projected population, in 2050, with how much we waste today. We're not only wasting food,we're also wasting water, energy, chemicals, packaging, and gas transporting discarded food. All of this is taken to produce and distribute the food and where does it end up? In the landfills.

    In this article it's saying that 20 pounds of food is wasted each month for each of the 311 million americans. That amounts to $1,350 to $2,275 a month.  That's what most people make in a month. Also throwing away cereal that isn't all the way gone, just to clear or make room in your pantry.

  • Kelsie Pensyl on 01 Feb 13
     
    This article laid out for ways people can prevent food waste. The first was plan meals for the week. Often times if you plan you won't waste. The next is scrape your scraps. Save your scraps of veggies and fruits and freeze them. In the future you can use them for different meals. Preserve your foods. This includes canning, dehydrating, and or pickling foods that you won't eat all of. Portion size is a big way on not wasting food. Start with small amounts of food a person can always go back for seconds. Last is compost items and use it for soil.
