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!

Packaging Waste
To get to a cookie I bought I have to through a plastic bag to get a plastic packaging in an another plastic packaging but do we really need all this packaging. Our world is already polluted with plastic and need to stop it at source by cutting down or eliminating plastic bags and using reusable packaging people can bring to stores. What are someways you reduce your plastic use.
I was just doing a project on that! There is a lot of plastic and my family tries to reduce our use of plastic by eliminating straws, avoiding things like gun, and bringing our own bags when we go shopping. But is really hard to avoid plastic packaging.
I agree there is just so much plastic packaging and its not even needed I think we should ban plastic packaging and resort to bins/ containers/... at stores and everyone brings there own reusable container.
I decrease my plastic use by not buying plastic bottles, not using straws, and using reusable bags.
_max898_ I think you are doing a great job of reducing your plastic use. what is your substitute for store bought water bottles?
strangerbcb-0 Ban of use of plastic can be hard considering they are a big part of daily life and it can cost a lot of money but nothing is impossible. Ban of plastic use would improve so many things.
