How much waste is being wasted by each person?
"40% of the food we produce gets thrown out." " « Sausage Making: A Good Justice Michael Pollan on Tom Vilsack Appointment to Head Agriculture Department » Waste: Why Is So Much Food Wasted?". Cooking Up a Story. 2009 OCTOBER 12 .
In our world, we have so much food from industrial factories that can feed each person. Our problem is that the food is not being imported to third-world countries. All of us have the ability to use technology and now we all should cut down our food shortages and start eating healthy food because it is healthy for our bodies. Each person has their own opinions and we cannot force anybody to eat anything, but we can let them be aware for whoever wants to change. It can create an impact on our community for those of us who wants to create a change.

How much does a person need to save their waste to make it into something else?
It can save more space in our landfills and products will be cut down less. 44 million newspapers are being wasted every day in the United States that like leading up to 500,000 trees into a landfill each week. "It takes about 95% less energy to make aluminum from recycled aluminum than to make it from raw materials." "Recycling a single aluminum can saves enough energy to power your television for three hours or to run a 100-watt light bulb for almost four hours." Imagine how much energy you can save. "Plastic bags made from recycled polythene rather than virgin materials save two thirds of the energy required for production and reduce the water used by almost 90%." "Recycling one ton of glass saves the equivalent of nine gallons of fuel oil and one sixth of a ton of carbon dioxide!" Batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, nickel, lead and cadmium, which can leak into our soil and it contaminates our living things in our environment. If you can recycle your products and can reuse them can make a difference on our community.
