Food, Inc. reveals the dark side of agribusiness and has the potential to instigate change in food production practices and people’s perception of health.
“Disturbing as it is, Food, Inc. doesn't present some doomsday scenario. People can make a difference, it says: after all, look what happened to Big Tobacco," touts Variety, leading film industry publication.
I want to thank ANTHONY RUSSO
who makes BIOSMART ALTERNATIVE SUGAR CANE
BAGASSE tableware for inspiring me to write this blog
right now.
Anthony is a sustainability expert who cares about
THE END OF STYROFOAM.
One of the year's soon there will be an award
given to Anthony for the work he is doing
to help END THE USE OF STYROFOAM.
Our oceans are filled with the containers
that people through away. Much of our
take out, shown in Food Inc, is styrofoam.
United States — The Greenpeace ship Esperanza is currently cruising into one of world's largest trash vortexes, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes referred to as the North Pacific garbage patch, this vortex is the epicenter of a system currents and winds covering most of the North Pacific. It has become home to a familiar substance – plastic.
Every year, about 300 billion pounds of plastic is produced around the world, and only a fraction is recycled. Where does the rest end up? Well, the majority ends up in landfills, but some finds its way into our oceans. Plastic is valued for its resistance to degradation, so its life span can be hundreds of years. When plastic reaches our oceans, it eventually breaks down due to the action of the sun, wind, and currents, into small, literally bite sized pieces that wildlife confuse with food. It’s an easy mistake to make.
KEEP THE BEET MEDIA STAR
THE World's FIrst Talking Beet Plant
wants to to finally go and see Food Inc.
I will likely bring some of Anthony's sugar cane
containers with me when I go to carry my own
food to the show.
Every year, our oceans and beaches are littered with thousands of pounds of foamed plastic, or Styrofoam. Styrofoam is not recyclable. It threatens our health, mars our beautiful beaches, and kills countless marine animals annually. AB 1358, introduced by Assemblyman Hill, will ban polystyrene food take-out packaging and ensure that safer more sustainable to-go containers are used instead.
As your constituent, I urge you to support AB 1358. Thank you.
I don't do well with normal foods sold in theatres.
Between 1960 and 2007 the amount of waste each person creates has almost doubled from 2.7 to 4.6 pounds per day. The most effective way to stop this trend is by preventing waste in the first place by Reducing, Reusing, Recycling and Composting.
