Sept18+19

The first photo was taken spet 18th, Trash for that day was just 2 bananas and several tissues.
How do we dissolve tissues?
Optimizing the concentration, temperature, flow, and surface tension can improve the tissue-dissolving effectiveness of hypochlorite even 50-fold.
Also, how do we deal with tissues issues at home?
Throw them into the toilet, because the water could dissolve it too.
Food Trash:
How much weight of food trash could be produced by the U.S and global.
In the United States, 31 percent—or 133 billion pounds—of the 430 billion pounds of the available food supply at the retail and consumer levels in 2010 went uneaten. The estimated value of this food loss was $161.6 billion using retail prices. For the first time, ERS estimated the calories associated with food loss: 141 trillion in 2010, or 1,249 calories per capita per day.
-------According to SoSA, Food Waste

SPET 19th

Because yesterday's trash was full, I started a new one.
I started to look at food waste because it surprised me that the most daily trash I have got was the food trash, just like what I thought, according to my research In many developing countries, post-harvest losses of food grains can reach as high as 50%.  This large amount of waste does not only happen in the developing countries, but also happens in the U.S  According a research which was done in 2004,
it was showed that 50% of all food ready for harvest in the United States never gets EATEN!!!

SOLUTION:
Limit the amount of food/fruit that one person could be able to get.
Limit the amount of food/fruit the restaurant could produce for each person.
Increase the tax on food.
Have more AD about food waste.
Require students to take classes about environmental problems.


PLASTIC BAGS:
I feel soooo sorry that I used plastic bag again....

PROBLEMS:
1 bag=1000 years to break down.
It would still have impact on earth after it has broken down.
The U.S. goes through 100 billion single-use plastic bags. This costs retailers about $4 billion a year.


SOLUTion:
I have mentioned so many time about it before this post....
1st
Encourage people to use paper bags! Charge them if they have to use plastic!
2ND
Created a plastic tax for people who use it and companies who produce it!
