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 Waste + Plastic Packaging
So, so much food is wasted in the U.S. The amount of people that could be fed in other, less developed, starving, parts of the world is insane. People need to stop being glutinous. It's ridiculous. Another thing is a realized how many kids brought brand new plastic water bottles to school everyday. The amount of plastic we consume is crazy. It would be so easy for everyone to just switch to reusable water bottles and containers. Hopefully we can strive for cutting down on plastic consumption and food waste in the near future.
