Approximately 40 percent of food in the U.S. goes to waste. Food and Agriculture Organization
Roughly one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year — approximately 1.3 billion tons — gets lost or wasted. Food and Agriculture Organization
Every year, consumers in rich countries waste almost as much food (222 million tons) as the entire net food production of sub-Saharan Africa (230 million tons). Food and Agriculture Organization
Over 97% of food waste generated ends up in the landfill. (Environmental Protection Agency)
33 million tons of food makes its way to landfills each year. (Environmental Protection Agency)
Consumer and foodservice food waste is the largest source of food loss in the marketing chain. Economic Research Services
Food waste that goes to the landfill breaks down anaerobically and produces methane; methane is 21 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. (Environmental Protection Agency)
In 2008, the EPA estimated that food waste cost roughly $1.3 billion to dispose of in landfills. (Journal of Consumer Affairs)
While the cost of synthetic meat (lab grown) is coming down substantially, we still waste 1.3 billion tons per year. That includes all the food (at the top of your chart) that gets thrown out and never makes it to the store simply because of minor defects.
The problem isn't eating meat. We've solved that one in the labs already and are working to commercialize it proper. The problem is wasting food altogether for really dumb reasons
Exactly! Since I got my Note 10.1 end of last year I don't use notebooks, diaries, agendas nor do I print .pdfs anymore =) It feels so clean and organized not having loads of paper on your desk and always being able to access all of your notes and files everywhere.. ;) Give it a try! I'm also not buying printed books anymore, we already carry lots of things with us in our homes, imagine the space and trees you would save if all of your books were digital.. I can see a much more spacious house! Let's go paperless! #eco #paperless #googledrive #google #galaxynote #galaxynote10 #galaxynote101 #galaxynote2 Originally shared by Google Drive Go paperless in 2013 It’s a new year, which means new resolutions. If you’re up for saving time, money and trees, going paperless might be a good goal for you in 2013. Google Drive is part of the Paperless Coalition, a group of organizations and products that help you live completely in a paper-free world. Dri...
#artificialintelligence Originally shared by Gideon Rosenblatt Knowledge and Artificial Intelligence I just hit the publish button on this one, and I think it may be one of my better articles in a while. It's an attempt at a bigger perspective on what's happening with things like Deep Learning (and other forms of machine learning and artificial intelligence), as well as Google's Knowledge Graph and even its "Knowledge Vault ." In this piece, I try to explain how these new technologies fit together. I also try to show how these latest breakthroughs are still part of a long arch in human history, a continuation of our efforts to pull tacit knowledge from the biology of our minds and bodies and embed it as explicit knowledge into a new container. I hope you enjoy this one. I enjoyed writing it. #knowledge #knowledgegraph #artificialintelligence #knowledgevault People I believe might be interested in this one because of past comments or posts: D...
Sensationalism against robots.. Originally shared by Wayne Radinsky A security robot was "put to work in San Francisco in an attempt to deter homeless people from forming tent cities." But it had to stop because the City of San Francisco ordered the robot off the sidewalks. "Knightscope's robots don't fight humans; they use equipment like lasers, cameras, a thermal sensor, and GPS to detect criminal activity and alert the authorities." "The robot's owner, the San Francisco SPCA, said it has seen fewer tents and car break-ins since it deployed the robot in the city's Mission neighborhood." http://www.businessinsider.com/security-robots-are-monitoring-the-homeless-in-san-francisco-2017-12
and feel good.
ReplyDeleteThank god for Indian food... Vegan options that taste as good or better than meat and meat dishes with lots of veggies and sauces
