    Years ago, we chose the word sustainability to describe societies goals and the belief that its possible. The most common way sustainability has been defined is "the ability to sustain" or "the capacity to endure." It is about our society and its future and the lives we live and everything in it.Sustainability is about being eco-friendly and eco-effective. Society needs to change its marketing strategies.

    Although there are many resources needed for food production, the smallest gesture towards saving food is an improvement. We need to utilize the most food possible in hopes to reduce our wastage by at least 15 percent. Twenty five million citizens do not have the means to get food on the tables, they could be fed by giving what we don't use or don't need.

    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.

    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.

    Has food waste gone unnoticed? Food waste has become one of those things we do daily without any guilt of what we are doing. In "Stepping Up to the Plate to Reduce Food Waste" wants us to do just that. Nearly half of our food ends up in the garbage costing around $165 billion. About $160 pounds of food wasted and dumped in the garbage. This article recognizes food waste as a problem and wants to bring back all the old slogans you used to see. "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle." Lets make the world a better place.

    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.

    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?

    While reading this article I have realized many companies have been going the Eco- friendly route. On the way to work I saw the VA hospital have solar panels on the overheads in the parking lot. I also see a lot of churches installing solar panels.
  • Andrea Manginelli on 28 Mar 14
     
    I love the comments made in this article. I agree with the author when she states that people have to look at the solar panels as part of the system on the building and not as something added on.

    Food waste ranges from 25 - 75 percent, depending on the food type, that amounts to 1.3 tons of edible food that's tossed each year. The food industry creates up to 30% of the world's annual carbon emissions. That's not it, it creates more emissions once it's discarded to landfills.
