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!

No kitchen plastic!
Plastic is used and manufactured everyday by humans, which means that we are polluting the air, land and water. My family friend Weibke Liu has created a business that helps people limit their usage of plastic in their kitchens and eventually get rid of the plastic all together. What Wiebke does is take out all the food in her customers kitchens and then sorts the food into individual recycled glass jars. The jars keep food fresher longer & buying from bulk bins costs less. Her system allows you to stock up smartly & go to the store less often as well as helping the environment but getting rid of plastic. Here is her website: http://blisshaus.myshopify.com/
I agree! I often see plastic bottles ending up in our Earth's lakes, rivers, and oceans which have a large effect on wildlife. Let's work on reducing our plastic usage!
Yes! Plastic needs to go. According to an article, plastic is not only hurting the earth but animals as well and especially animals that live in bodies of water, the chemicals in plastic is interrupting biological functions. This is all a big chain reaction, with plastic pollution it is killing more animals which is making less food for other animals and humans which is causing hunger.
Plastic should be not used because a lot of plastic ends up in water which harms animals and can lead up to the death of animals.
That is true, unless it is plastic that people can recycle then reuse, because that means that it won't affect the environment or carbon footprint.
Glass should be used more than plastic because it is better for the environment. We already have enough plastic in our ocean and all over the place.
Yes but glass is more difficult to manufacture and is easily destructible which can lead to lots of broken glass as litter
