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.

Just as much we try hard to recycle paper, organizations are trying to do the same by helping food not being wasted. They are forming donations to food banks for the undernourished.

Most foods are thrown away while still being fully edible because of cosmetic blemishes or overstocking. Food industry alliance are planning a 3 year initiative to reduce the tremendous amount of food waste. The environmental consequences are endless.

The Grocery Manufacturers Association is conducting a plan to donate more food instead of throwing it away. They are being financed by the Food Marketing Institute to help with transportation and the restoration of food. They will begin by conducting surveys in regards to why the food is being thrown out in the first place then act on their findings.

According to the most recent available statistics, more than 30 million tons of food was dumped in landfills in 2009, making food by far the most abundant material there by weight, the federal Environmental Protection Agency says. (That calculation excludes industrial, construction and hazardous waste.) This amounts roughly to 200 pounds a year for every man, woman and child in the United States.
