    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.

    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.

    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?
