    This was a interesting article changing the way indoor environment is seem like a weird way to do thing but the way it is explained seems like it helps. Like using the light self brightens the ceiling and also keeps less heat in the room by changing the direction of the glare.

    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.

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.

    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?

trying to reroute food waste to the hunger. - 0 views

  •  
    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.
