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 package
i think it is very important that we find better packaging for our food in the stores, it is so much plastic that comes from the packages. do you have any idea what we could use instead of all this plastic?
they could use glass containers or each person could bring their own container from home
I think that plastic is a big problem. It might be beneficial to use plastic dishes to collect your food item at the store. Just think about all the harm 1 piece of plastic can do. It takes years for plastic to decompose and the effects on wildlife are major. There is never a good interaction with animals and plastic and it can be very harmful.
Belarus is actively fighting with plastic packaging. Ordinary plastic bags are suggested to be replaced with reusable bags. Today, the choice is huge - you can buy in the store any woven handbag for products, for every taste and color. packaging will also be partially replaced by paper bags. Plastic bottles are gradually replaced by glass. I think everyone should support this idea and the world will be a little better.
