Feeling green guilt? Food waste is likely responsible - latimes.com - 0 views

    the fifth annual survey polled almost 1100 americans and found out that consumers also felt guilty about leaving the lights on when leaving a room and wasting water. But no one really thinks about wasting rations or food. Food costs more than electric does each month and no one really pays attention to it.

    This page gives you great ways on how to reduce food waste and save money. The advice that caught my attention right away was the one where it tells you to know the people that you are going to be cooking for. It is true why cook for four people that eat plenty when only one or two of them would really enjoy a meal.

Less Food Waste at Parties - 0 views

  •  Decorating sugar cookies is one of the easiest ideas for parties with children

    Really interesting on how to take the kids attention. Its really smart to have small appetizers than big plates whit a lot of food that could be waste.

    This was a interesting article changing the way indoor environment is seem like a weird way to do thing but the way it is explained seems like it helps. Like using the light self brightens the ceiling and also keeps less heat in the room by changing the direction of the glare.

This article brings up several ways that buildings can be more Eco by using lighting that self's adjust therefore using less energy and less heat because they wont be on 24/7.

    While reading this article I have realized many companies have been going the Eco- friendly route. On the way to work I saw the VA hospital have solar panels on the overheads in the parking lot. I also see a lot of churches installing solar panels.
  •  
    I love the comments made in this article. I agree with the author when she states that people have to look at the solar panels as part of the system on the building and not as something added on.

Studying School Food Waste - 0 views

  •  
    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!

    This site has good information and is simply laid out but some sections are a little confusing on the layout.
  •  
    Arizona is a good state to be considered a sustainable state. Becuase of the sun and how it provides power with solar engery. Arizona is in the best position and hits the brightest spot of the sun, that's why it's so bright here. Thus leading to a lot of solar pannels being put up.
  •  
    This site was a good pick because it has a lot of information which will help Arizona.

TLC Home "50 Ways to Never Waste Food Again" - 2 views

  •  
    Great tips on how to cut down food waste. Cutting food waste how it helps you make yummy food in the kitchen. The last one is important to read.
  •  
    Original: "Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without" is a favorite adage in both frugal and green circles, and it is something I strive to live by. One of the best ways to "use it up" is to think differently about our food and ways to avoid wasting it. Lloyd wrote a great post a while back about the statistics for how much food we waste in the U.S., and the numbers are, frankly, appalling. On average, we waste 14% of our food purchases per year, and the average American family throws out over $600 of fruit per year. Paraphrase: Half the loaf of bread goes stale and the grapes aren't as fresh. With an attitude to stop waste and some creativity, you can create new things with your food before it actually goes bad. Left over roasted vegetable can be made into soup and leftover rice can be added into oatmeal the next morning. There are many more ways to reduce waste in your home.
