RE: Consumers & Businesses Waste 40% of the Food Produced in the US
This is one of the reasons I founded The Garden of Eden and one of the facets of sustainability we are most successful with!
The truth is that life in almost all western countries needs MAJOR overhaul in all aspects but without a doubt in sustainability. There are SO many solutions to cut out almost all this waste and the carbon footprint that is happening yet we need more education.
We make compost out of waste, feed animals out of waste and thus create MORE food none of which we have to buy and none of which uses any resources. In truth we are actually SAVING wasted/forsaken resources and turning NOTHING into SOMETHING of great value.
This is actually very easy and could very easily be done in every neighborhood/town/city on any small or large scale.
It just has to be a priority!
May it be so~*~
Thank you for making it a priority, Quinn! A better way really is possible; your example is genuinely inspiring!
This is one of the many reasons why I respect you so much Quinn... Many people can see it, but few people do anything about it.
And... It is fucking hard - overwhelming and despair-inducing. I know because I've lived it for most of my life... People living so recklessly and without any kind of conscious thought - anything at all about what they are doing, what systems they are supporting, and how connected everything is... That living in such waste is disrespectful - to the self, to one's environment, and to one's source (of life - however one chooses to define it).
I'm glad you are alive Brother. Thank you for being the example I once thought was impossible.
Yes and its so easy to just do what everyone else does, though the standards are LOW they are acceptable and even easier because everyone else is doing it.
Its a shame because humanities standards are SOOOOO low yet it just seems normal. The atrocities that humans do on a DAILY basis, an eye is not even batted. Just life as usual.
