    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 article laid out for ways people can prevent food waste. The first was plan meals for the week. Often times if you plan you won't waste. The next is scrape your scraps. Save your scraps of veggies and fruits and freeze them. In the future you can use them for different meals. Preserve your foods. This includes canning, dehydrating, and or pickling foods that you won't eat all of. Portion size is a big way on not wasting food. Start with small amounts of food a person can always go back for seconds. Last is compost items and use it for soil.

    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?

    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?

    Food waste is a big problem for Americans today. We can solve this problem by doing a few things watching and limiting what we buy and eat, saving what we do not finish, and ignoring sale by dates because they are not expiration dates. Using methods like these we can successfully reduce food waste from one pound a day per person.

    The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates that Americans waste 30 percent of all edible food produced, bought, and sold in this country, although it acknowledges that this figure is probably low.Part of the problem is the heterogeneous nature of food waste -there is no single culprit, just many diffuse sources that add up to a slow and steady bleed on the economy and the environment. This site tells us what we already know, just some random helpful information in there that is fun and good to know.

    Everyone is responsible for food being wasted the biggest contributors being cafeteria's, restaurants, and grocery stores. The first steps to wage war on food waste are to buy conservatively and make just enough instead of to much. Also to embrace the three R's reduce, reuse, and recycle.

    This article explains a group of people that take food from stores that is getting thrown away and hand it out to the hunger. I find this very important because instead of the food being wasted someone is taking a stand and giving to the need instead of the dump. So we are killing two birds with one stone in this process.

    U.S. citizens have found ways to use their resources faster than they can be replaced. This being based on their every day routines, and interactions with food; one being that they waste approximately 4.6 pounds of trash a day. Environmentally speaking this is not headed in a good direction for America.

    We can all manage to try and save more food instead of waste it or throw it away by simply learning the proper way to store food and leftovers. If we could do this more often, we would be cutting down food waste little by little each year.
