    In this website it talks about the effects of fossil fuels and pesticides. It also mentions what we can do to help our environment .

    This is a pretty good article. It is sad how they mentioned that chemicals which were banned in the U.S. and Europe for being toxic are now starting to be used in developing countries. It is sad to know that there are companies out there worried more about their pockets of "one"(the company) rather then the health and lives of thousnds of people.

    In this website a article is written by Grace Interlichia, the article explains that people often mistake sustainability for giving up living pleasures such as desired foods, homes and cars. But in reality its not giving up what people loath but instead creating a better way to live by fuel friendly cars and sustainable farming.

    This article gives readers insight to our aim of living style sustainably. For example transportation, and farming. There are also other recommended articles to read relating to this topic.

    This article talks about lights. We have all been told to turn our lights off, but are we really saving more energy? According to this article we are not.

    There are misconceptions about csots and benefits. Research that had been done shoes that a lot of companies, large and small, have been reluctant to pursue environmental sustainability. One myth is that there is no profit from sustainability initiatives. And companies that have taken the initiative are profiting from it.

    Good information on the misconceptions that many business companies think they know about. This is a great choice and only if more business companies knew about it.

    Food waste is a big problem for Americans today. We can solve this problem by doing a few things watching and limiting what we buy and eat, saving what we do not finish, and ignoring sale by dates because they are not expiration dates. Using methods like these we can successfully reduce food waste from one pound a day per person.

War Food Waste Sustainability

  • kacie r on 01 Feb 12
     
    The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates that Americans waste 30 percent of all edible food produced, bought, and sold in this country, although it acknowledges that this figure is probably low.Part of the problem is the heterogeneous nature of food waste -there is no single culprit, just many diffuse sources that add up to a slow and steady bleed on the economy and the environment. This site tells us what we already know, just some random helpful information in there that is fun and good to know.
  • Blake Damron-Gurule on 06 Feb 12
     
    Everyone is responsible for food being wasted the biggest contributors being cafeteria's, restaurants, and grocery stores. The first steps to wage war on food waste are to buy conservatively and make just enough instead of to much. Also to embrace the three R's reduce, reuse, and recycle.

    In this article it explains how there are children in need to at least one meal per day and we waste tons of food each day. Another good point on how to decrease food waste is to harvest and crop your own vegetables and fruits. This article also explains how if you have some food left over you can try to juice it, or chop it and be able to eat it.

    Has food waste gone unnoticed? Food waste has become one of those things we do daily without any guilt of what we are doing. In "Stepping Up to the Plate to Reduce Food Waste" wants us to do just that. Nearly half of our food ends up in the garbage costing around $165 billion. About $160 pounds of food wasted and dumped in the garbage. This article recognizes food waste as a problem and wants to bring back all the old slogans you used to see. "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle." Lets make the world a better place.

    I really enjoyed reading this article because it ties in with food waste what we have been taking about. For an instance I thought they were the same back to going "green" it is good to learn the difference to comprehend both. This is also very helpful for those of us who would like to help but do not know how.
  • patricia kelly on 22 Mar 14
     
    To achieve a sustainable society then food waste must be recycled as opposed to being sent to landfill sites around the country. We all know the problems that our planet is suffering through global warming that is partly aided by the greenhouse gasses that are produced when food waste is sent to landfill and the ensuing fluctuations in temperature that is suffered around the globe.

    I really like your comment Norma i Read the same thing but saw it in a different light. But then after reading about your going green comment i thought about how ironic it is that color is being considered a sustainability method. It is great when you can see something from someone else point of view and get more from something you already agreed with.

    Good idea of using the image of the government to support sustainability for the people to look at them and follow. Using the government to help companies do better in reducing pollutions.

    Cameron i agree i liked how This website gives you knowledge on a wide spectrum i enjoyed quite a few of the tabs i agreed with and thought that we should make so many of these things laws which can be punishable if they are ignored. The only way it seems to get people to do what's right is to give them no other choice.
