    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.

    There are misconceptions about csots and benefits. Research that had been done shoes that a lot of companies, large and small, have been reluctant to pursue environmental sustainability. One myth is that there is no profit from sustainability initiatives. And companies that have taken the initiative are profiting from it.

    It seems that Bloom is a major source when it comes to food waste because this is the second article that quotes him. This article gives statistics and information everyone should be aware of. They also give this great example of how America has a great obesity problem and that they say to chuck away the last few slices of that pizza instead of eating them!! Wrong! maybe we should just not buy the pizza if we do not need to eat it! The examples just show how we don't really think twice before throwing food away.

    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 is from 2004. It states that durig an "extensive" 8 year study they found that $75 billion of food waste is being tossed out each year. It also states that if Americans knew how to use food more "wisely", and buy more "wisely" they wouldn't waste so much of it. They suggest freezing leftovers to save them and eat them later.

    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.

    Food recovery is retrieving edible food that would go to waste and giving it to those in need. The food that is picked up is donated by supermarkets, restaurants and farms. Things like day old bread and things that are past the "sell by" dates but still in great shape are donated.

    I really enjoyed reading this article because it ties in with food waste what we have been taking about. For an instance I thought they were the same back to going "green" it is good to learn the difference to comprehend both. This is also very helpful for those of us who would like to help but do not know how.
  • patricia kelly on 22 Mar 14
     
    To achieve a sustainable society then food waste must be recycled as opposed to being sent to landfill sites around the country. We all know the problems that our planet is suffering through global warming that is partly aided by the greenhouse gasses that are produced when food waste is sent to landfill and the ensuing fluctuations in temperature that is suffered around the globe.
  • patricia kelly on 22 Mar 14
     
    I really like your comment Norma i Read the same thing but saw it in a different light. But then after reading about your going green comment i thought about how ironic it is that color is being considered a sustainability method. It is great when you can see something from someone else point of view and get more from something you already agreed with.

    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.

    this website was easy to understand and interesting all at the same time. It gives a run down on the technology that is being applied now to help the the sustainability within our environment. This is also gives a sneak peek into what technology that they plan to improve on and introduce hopefully within the near future.

    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.

    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?

    This article talks about the how much restaurants waste. It talks about how they don't realize how much food is being thrown away. One restaurant owner took away the garage can to teach the employees about not wasting food. They saved a lot of food because every time they have to throw something away they have to ask. It also talks about the odor that comes off of dumpsters. It is then take to landfills where the garbage breaks down into methane to damage peoples health. Its not only the producers who are wasting its also the consumers.
  • Troy Amstutz on 02 Feb 13
     
    A major problem we have today is that food waste is a low priority for restaurants and nobody is doing anything about it.
  • James Sassi on 01 Feb 14
     
    This article explains that restaurants find food waste a low priority. This happens because as a restraunt you always have to be prepared if its slow or busy. If its busy then great you wont have any food to be thrown out but if its slow you have to throw away that days production.
