    I thought that this article was very interesting because it relates to the 10 myths as well. The article is about when bigger countries, such as the U.S. and Europe who decided to move to sustainable growing techniques. The one thing wrong wtih sustainable growing is that we have less to export to poorer countries in need of low cost mass produced foods.

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.

    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.

    Jonathan Benson states that there is enough food waste in America to fill a football stadium and has been increasing over the years. He also talks about the cause of all the food being wasted in America and gives supported reasons.

    This article talks about 10 facts about sustainability. How we need to grow our own food because now a days the food is being genetically modified and the government is subsiding with it. My favorite way of sustainability was to eat animal products because "organic" foods in marketplaces may be mono cropped.

    One of the biggest reasons we throw away food is we over buy it and that's how it gets wasted. Veggies and fruits are the most wasted because some of them dont grow to the standards that need met or some other reasons.

    A visual is given based on the economy and its land and food production. A cause of America's larger food waste is the growing population. There is plenty of data to support the population growth too.

    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.

    In this article they talk about how half of what  we produce in america is wasted. It also talks about how farmers grow a lot of product in order to get paid more and if it comes out bad they just leave it to rot in the fields.

    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.

    Eating all the food on your plate and how you can help in the consumption wasted each year, and what you can do about it. Save oil, water , time , and your wallet. This article pertains to these key terms and the energy that people constantly waste.
  • Troy Amstutz on 01 Feb 13
     
    Americans push technology and sometimes their wallets to the limit to pursue energy frugality. But if you examine your plate, you could easily save fuel. The power that it takes to grow food, move it all over the country, process it, sell it, store it and then eventually scrape it into the trash is a major problem in the U.S.

    The amounts of fruit,vegetables,orchards, and food in general and how researchers find distrubing to see all this food go to waste in california. The belief that the problemsof food waste start in the field of the farmers growing it and why it is the problem due to the retailers hard to pass requirements.

    Grocery stores and restaurants still wasting food that they know to be unsafe. It is said in this article that Safeway doesn't donate food items that are not fit for consumption. In this case it can be a health problem to the consummer of these food.

    Barbara Hartman is a registered dietician who lives in rural West Virginia. She grew up appreciating the value of food. Barbara grew up appreciating food as a little girl, because her grandfather lived during the depression. Now because of growing up conserving food, she has started programs to prevent food waste.

    We use energy for everything. We use energy to treat our water , grow our food, produces and to go to place to place. In general we want our community to develop more diverse, reliable, and cleaner sources of energy; to reduce energy usage; and to improve efficiency.

    As you said and the article says energy is so important to us to keep life going. Creating a better source of energy would be a big advancement to help this cause. It is great that other cities are taking action to make a change.
  • Cameron Murray on 21 Mar 14
     
    This article explains the importance of energy greatly, and the fact there is more to energy than "keeping the lights on". Energy needs to be sustainable for the future generations needs of energy, the need for energy won't go away.
  • patricia kelly on 22 Mar 14
     
    I tried to see what was important on this article but it wasn't very easy for me personally to grasp. I see that you 3 did find the point of the sustainability with electricity. I find it funny that we are always leaving lights on when we leave a room and think nothing of it until we are told it will save us money or that we are wasting something we really take for granted.
  • Raymond Laborin on 22 Mar 14
     
    This article states that sustainability and energy interconnect in many ways. I agree with Dominique we use energy for everything we do, but hopefully we don't take advantage of the resources we have now and end up leaving are future heirs high and dry.

    It's too early to know which of the aids or ills foreseen for GM foods will materialize. In the meantime, GM technology raises thorny questions of science, ethics, law, and economics that need to be thoroughly debated. This page offers pros/cons for GM foods.
