Food waste

chemicals from pollution of companies’ factories. Factories being built for production efforts to fulfill the market. The factories create waste, but they do not use any efficient way to dispose of the waste. The companies decide on cutting cost of developing to ways to safely dispose of the waste. The factories use cheap easy ways to dispose of waste through dumping waste in the rivers and streams. The effects of not taking control of pollution leads to people getting sick. There are some…

know that increase has a lot to do with the growing population around the world. Yet, as we continue to grow in numbers of people, we also continue to lack a sufficient amount of natural resources to go around as well as places to absorb all of the waste we create. We have been given natural resources that can be taken for granted so easily because we never think of what life will be like when they’re gone. We have never had to live in a world without them so we need to learn, globally, how to…

to its waste system, and new recycling centers are opening next year. In neighborhoods with limited waste services and open trash piles, it is no surprise trash is scattered throughout the environment. “Waste is just a misplaced resource” ~Ken Dunn. Trash disposal is a difficult problem. Waste consists of organics, single-use packaging, biomedical products, electronics, durable goods, paper, plastic, glass and aluminum. Since waste is a misplaced resource, I thought up a solution to the waste…

With the actions happening around you it will most likely make you sad or have mixed emotions. You will be more inclined to help solve the problem and make your town a better place.

year! According to Food and Water Watch, approximately 3.5 billion people in 2025 will face water shortage issues. That’s almost half of today’s population! All over the world, pollution continues to grow and get worse. Every…

Foods which are inside the package always in direct contact with the packaging materials. Kirwan, Plant and Strawbridge (2011) believe that there is the interaction between food and its packaging where the component of the packaging can be absorbed and react with food. In addition, the chemical from environment around the packaged food can also absorbed by the packaging to the food (Robertson, 2013). Some plastics contain hazardous substances…

exemplified by the sheer magnitude of production, as well as by the difficulty in determining the origins of plastic waste. The magnitude of plastic production is shown through the increase of global plastic resin production by 620% from 1975 to 2012 (Jambeck et al. 2015). Furthermore, in 58% of countries with available data, it was found that at least ten per cent of solid waste material was comprised of plastic pollution (Jambeck et al. 2015).…

and stop. “About 80% of marine debris originates from sources on land and the other 20%, about 636,000 tons per year, comes from ocean vessels. Cruise ships represent 1% of marine, but produce 25% of ship-sourced waste; on average, a single cruise ship passenger produces 3.5 kg of waste per day”(Polsenberg). This is a reason why pollution is caused because people not only pollute from land but they do it while on boats and this makes it harder for the pollution to be stopped because not many…

Discarding plastic products, including snack wrappers and grocery bags quickly fill up landfills and even clog drains. According to the “Statistic Brain Research Institute” 9 billion tons of litter are dumped into the ocean each year. When plastic waste drifts out to sea many animals such as dolphins and turtles may Ingest the plastic. Animals are not able to break down plastic in their digestive system which sometimes results in death. Litter in earths…

Over the course of the Pine Jog Fellowship, I Iearned about many different environmental issues that are currently impacting Florida. The five main topics that we covered were Sustainability and Climate Change, Water Quality and Quantity, Waste Management and Sustainability, Sustainable Agriculture, and Biodiversity. For Sustainability and Climate Change I learned about how we are trying to restore the water quality that we once had in Florida as well as what an increase in climate will do to…
