This article is about how sustainable food can last us in the long haul, without damaging our health, and environment. It also describes how technology has a big impact on sustainable food.

I reallly like this article because the main page of the article has specific buttons for specific sections of the article, this makes the article very organized and neat. This article covers many different topics and definitely could be a good source to use.

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.

This article is about the sustainability need in the food waste area. This article explain that we should recycle our food by composting and also explain two types of ways to compost.

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.

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.

I know we do not live in California, but when I came across this site I noticed that they have a section on compost. If our leftovers can't find a home,the compost is the way to go. Could be the easiest way to make use of our waste

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.

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.

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.

It's a short section about this myth but I like the information this site shares about this myth.

This article talks about lights. We have all been told to turn our lights off, but are we really saving more energy? According to this article we are not.

This is a good one i never knew that have to ;turn the light back on was actually wasting more engery. I guess i'll leave every light on.

This article talks about how sustainable energy meets the needs for the present, but does not effect the sustainable energy for the future. It also talks about how researchers are exploring different ways to produce cleaner more efficient ways to produce better energy sources instead of relying on fossil fuel.

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.

This article was easy for me to understand, I really like how the article explained "sustainable energy" with terms that I know and isn't too far complex for the readers.

"Sustainability is based on a simple principle: Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment." This site s full of information on sustainability and more. Great links are attached to this site. Want to know how to help? Read more....

This is a very informative website. It explains what sustainability is, and what is being done to preserve it. Also, it explains what we can do to help.

This is great article to grasp what exactly sustainability is. I like how it really goes it to depth about what exactly it is instead of just giving a general defining statement, it helps with the comprehension of what it really means. It also shows what can be done to help this also helped with the comprehension because it gave examples so also an opportunity to reflect as well.

Learn how sustainable farms raise healthy animals using practices that benefit the environment and bolster local economies.

Like that it is talking about feeding animal the food that they normally would eat and they are grass feed making it more beneficial for the animal and the taste of what the animals are going to be used for better and more nutritious.

This is an interesting article to learn what is behind our meat. It is great that they are actually fed what they normally would, and that they don't deprive them of that.

Here is another example of the 10th myth of sustainability. In this article it explains how a companies goal of selling sustainable pesticides went wrong, and that It actually does more harm then good.

@ Kelsey Martell, I used one of the yippy and dogpile websites. They take some time to fish through because they too still bring up a lot of redundant information.

What a great article that goes along with the 10th myth of sustainability. This gives a good example of how more harm is done when companies selling pesticides then good. This was a very interesting article to read through. Great job finding this article Jacob.

On this website there is information on how this company PepsiCo is committed to protecting earth by using natural resources. It also has sections that further explain how to manage packaging waste, water waste, and climate change. 

I think this is a good website, it's informative with the videos and the short information section below them.

This webpage gives us a a lot of information on ways that PepsiCo is being self sufficient to help our eviromental sustainability. This is a really good choice Erick.

A wonderful page that tries to make everyone be aware on how much food they waste but the most important a few ways in how to prevented. One way that i really liked was putting leftovers in visible parts of the fridge like in the front or the door.

the article is web based slide show that goes through 12 different ways to prevent food waste. it gives example of food waste and than solutions on how to prevent it or minimize food waste

The article provides 12 ways that prevent food waste at home. As we all know form our reading this is a level were a lot of food is wasted. Maybe we can begin to get involved to stop food waste at home.

There are consequences to food waste including environmental, economical, and cultural. The ways to stop this waste are simple sticking to shopping lists, saving leftovers, and composting or donating what you don't want. People are becoming more involved with what they can do to stop this waste, but are they to late?

The effect food waste has on the environment and our living conditions. The importance of composting and recycling.

This displays the problem of food waste. Most of the waste that we see goes straight to the landfill in garbage bags, but others do not realize other forms of waste. Any other form of waste that I thought was interesting was the food waste we put in the garbage disposal. Food waste goes straight to the landfills creating global warming. Food waste cost Americans $100 billion annually. Do people realize how much they waste? Will food waste ever stop?

(Sent original article to wrong ENG 102 group) I always knew smartphones were handy, but reducing food waste is an all new level of smart! In July of 2012, about 222 millions tons of food was wasted. When solutions were running thin, someone broke though and added the world of technology to our world of waste. An app was created. Yes! Even your smartphone reduces waste now. The app that was created goes based off of household size, recipes, shopping lists, and meal preferences into one to help save Mother Earth from becoming a dump. Read this article to see how the diversity of people is compatible with the newest Smart Solution for food waste!
