    This paper talks about how so many kids take a packed lunch to school but almost all of it ends up in the trash. This because kids want to eat the foods that are bad for you or look cool compared to healthy boring stuff that ends up in the trash. What kid wants to eat healthy.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    America's economy and lifestyles have been shaped by the low prices and availability of energy. In the last decade, however, the prices of oil, natural gas, and coal have increased dramatically, leaving consumers and the industrial and service sectors looking for ways to reduce energy use.

    The death penalty is a social issue. A person who got caught with marijuana can get the death penalty depending on how much they have but murders can live 25 to life in jail/prison. The parameters need to be specified.

    The death penalty needs to be thoroughly examined. Is it right to kill others in order to set the rest of society straight? In what cases is the death penalty acceptable?

    To help reduce food waste you could recycle your spare food and make different food dishes. Another, thing you could do is save your leftovers in a container where they are visible that way you can see the edible food you have. Remember it is still safe to use food past their expiration and "use by" date these dates refer to quality not safety. Lastly, you should shop for items you know you will use soon instead of items you do not need that way they don't go to 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!

    It was interesting to read the different ways the City of North Vancouver strategies to becoming a more sustainable city. Like Kelsey said they believe this will help their quality of life for those who work and live in that city. It's interesting to read about other countries and how they try to live more sustainable lives within their countries. Thanks for sharing Kelsey!

    This article talks about a program that K-12th grade schools can implement through out their school. It gives examples on how this program has already been implemented and changed in schools. It also talks about how the program can be implemented in a school. This program is a great way to teach children and staff different ways to create a sustainable school.
  • Jacob Ortiz on 23 Mar 13
     
    I think that is pretty cool that they have the kids get involoved as well, because like you said it is a great way to teach kids about sustainability and maybe some could even educate their parents. "However, most school districts don't have an award-winning nonprofit to implement a comprehensive Zero Waste program for them." (Schumper & Dietz). This comment made me think, are Zero Waste programs very exspensive if it is not through a non-profit group, and is that why other schoos do not implement this?
