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!

Reuse vs recycling clothing
Some people still opt to throw away their old apparel together with their garbage. An average of 80 pounds of textile waste are produced annually in the United States. This garbage harms the environment by ending up in landfills. These garments can produce greenhouse gases and release hazardous chemicals into the earth as they break down. Shop at a thrift store and give away your old clothes as one approach to decrease textile waste. These shops assemble clothing and then make it available for others to use. Through this procedure, we are preventing clothing from going to the garbage and giving it a second opportunity.
