    It seems governments and people are putting effort to achieve sustainability. World Commission on Environment and Development said a sustainable society "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Living sustainably, there would be no waste, and we would use half the amount of energy and materials budget we do now. "We need self-respect, identity, community, love, variety, beauty, challenge, and a purpose in living that is greater than material accumulation."

Ugly food part of worldwide food waste problem - 0 views

  •  
    This article is how much produce the world waste. Often times produce is left to rot in the farm lands where it is being grown. You ask why? If the certain product isn't the right shape, color, size, or feel right it is left. This is because the consumers won't buy the product if it looks a little funny. If it makes it to the store the grocer does sales, promotions and other things to have consumers buy more. This then results in waste at home because often times consumers won't use all the product. It goes on to talk about how we can change food waste from happening and other issues within the food waste topic.
