Food Waste

 


Food waste is a really big issue when it comes to this topic. This is the food that is not eaten, and the reason behind it may be because of the food system (production, processing, distribution, retail, and consumption)

This is an issue in too many forms. For example, there are so many people on the planet that doesn't get the same opportunities as others do. While food is being wasted in a country, it may be needed somewhere else. However, there may be so many factors that affect this, and we can't really control them at all.

Also, food gradually breaks down, to form methane. This greenhouse gas could be more powerful than CO2 is. Food waste is also among the leading causes of freshwater pollution. 

In conclusion, wasting food leads to many issues in the world, and the main issue could be global warming.

    Great blog post Michael. This is definitely a big issue and you did a good job explaining why. I know here in the United States we waste a lot of food and I just wish that we could some how give food that is about to go to waste to another place that is in need of food. Overall great job with this post.

Cruise ships are some what of a luxury with the fancy dinners every night. Swimming pools and massive halls for shows and people to perform. Not to forget some even have places to throw cards and gamble. In recent study’s, cruise ships are found to be a major contributor to the growth of on water environmental pollution and degradation. This is also due to the ever so increasing amount of people taking cruises along with the industry booming in the way that it did. The recent popularity before COVID-19 had researchers interested. So they did a few study’s and found out the information above. Other dangers that cruise ships might present is potential danger to passengers/staff physical and mental health including land-based residents who live close to the ...

SABIC resins reduces the weight from things such as dashboards to tailgates by as high as 40% which makes it to where vehicles can go farther. The technology world is trying to convince everyone to convert to electric vehicles. They depend on batteries that charge faster, run longer, and are also more efficient.

How Does Solar Energy Work?

How Does Solar Energy Work? Most people and I would assume everyone in this class have heard of solar energy. Some might even know some that use solar energy at some level. One question that I myself sometimes find myself having is how does solar energy really work? Of course, we know that solar energy is energy that is absorbed from the sunlight, but let's dig deeper. The most common way to use solar energy is through solar panels. Solar panels absorb solar energy through something known as photovoltaics. As stated in a post made by Energy.Gov "energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel. This energy creates electrical charges that move in response to an internal electrical field in the cell, causing electricity to flow, " Solar energy is something that can seem expensive at first, but if you compare the costs of a one time installment versus a continuous energy bill, it will most often come out being cheaper. Do you guys know anyone that uses solar...
