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!

Fast Food waste
One of the biggest contributors to food being wasted is the fast food industry. Excessive wrapping that never makes it to being recycled, and 40% of all food waste comes from restaurants. A greater effort needs to be made into recycling food waste from restaurants, and reducing the amount of waste.

I truly agree with you that fast food waste can be very harmful for the environment. It causes lots of food waste, and plastic not being thrown out properly. I also totally agree that a greater effort needs to be made into recycling food waste from restaurants since it is becoming a must that needs to be done.
I really agree with you that fast food waste can be very harmful to the environment. I totally agree that more effort should be put into recycling restaurant food waste as it is becoming a necessity.
I agree with your answer
I 100% percent agree. I had an idea that could help with this. for me, a Canadian, the government could create reusable cups and make them very cheap or free and encourage local fast food places to use them. it would work where basically you would buy a drink and then would be given one of these cups, then you could return them to any of your local fast food places next time you go. this could also work for containers. The only problem is that this system is pretty inconvenient, many people would rather do it the easy way than the environmental way. I also have a solution for this. where I live they have stopped handing out plastic bags for groceries and instead you have to buy a cotton bag. Now, because of this people bring their own reusable bags way more often. This system I proposed could be a backup to bringing your own container. bringing your own could also have a much more reduced price to further encourage people. I think if we want to stop climate change, we need to make big change now.
