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 and Hunger
I feel like a way we can stop people from being hungry on the street is instead of throwing away your leftovers from a restaurant, you could give it to the people that are less fortanute.

We could change peoples live by doing little acts like this and helping them out by just giving $5
