Our group thought that taking the informative and educational approach to this issue would be the most beneficial way to take action. We started out with many ideas, and thought originally we were going to do an educational panel with a couple different speakers, but then moved towards the website idea. We went with this idea because it is more concrete, people can go about the website looking at what they are most interested in, and they can take action by posting a social media post aimed at the companies that are contributing most to food waste, so they can see that we do care about this issue. Our website:\u00a0https:\/\/foodwastebusters.wordpress.com\/ contributed to the larger community and globe because anyone can access it, and food waste is a global problem, not just local. Food waste effects every part of the world, and it is crazy how so much food is wasted while a lot of the globe is starving. The big question is how can we fix this problem, but first, we need to tackle our high number of food waste, and then figure out how we can get more food to those who need it. This is a controversial problem that seems like it will take awhile to fix, but education and awareness is a good start. “In the U.S., 40% of our food produced goes to waste”. If we all as a larger community focus each meal on not wasting our food through simple methods, like taking a to-go box, we could reduce that number of food being wasted.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
