What did you learn about dietary choices from using the footprint calculator? Now imagine that you could translate what you learned into an effective societal policy on food- what would it be? And how would this policy effect the need to alleviate world hunger?
925 million people on earth do not have enough to eat according to the FAO [Food and Agricultural Organization]. That's almost 1 in 7 inhabitants of our planet!

Food and hunger
With the result I got by calculating my footprint I was amazed at how much food my family and I waste. I'm very sorry, especially knowing how many people die of hunger every day, and I think that from now on I will be more careful not to throw away all that food and I will also point it out to my family.
I understand your situation, and I believe that as people such as yourself improve, each individual can take their part in improving their life for the betterment of the environment. Simple dietary changes and reduced food waste can have a significant long-term impact as we all slowly dial down on the toll we take on the environment.
