Food waste is a growing problem both in the United States and across the globe. In North America alone anywhere from 30-40% of perfectly edible food ends up in the trash each year. To put it in perspective that is almost 20 pounds of food per person, per month! While the fact that most ends up in our landfills is bad enough, what's worse is that over 48 million Americans, including 15.3 million kids, live in households that do not have sufficient food! Now, concerned citizens are trying to raise awareness of the issue with some innovative ideas.

Maybe voting for a town law over it or something, but even then? I think with our current will power we can reduce starving peeps and all, and if we do that they will surely join the force against methane after first hand experiencing it, so it's just a theory.

- WORLD SAVER!9년 이상In our school at lunch I see people throwing HALF or NOT EATEN FOOD! Why would they buy the food even though they won’t eat it!? When that food goes into landfills (from the trash) it creates METHANE! So in the atmosphere there is methane and carbon dioxide (methane is 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide). These air molecules trap some of the heat and sun rays into the Earth so the temperature is normal (not too hot or not too cold.) So when too much methane gets trapped into the Earth’s atmosphere the world starts to face GLOBAL WARMING! So this all started when kids and adults didn't eat all of their food. They could have donated to 15.9 MILLION CHILDREN THAT ARE STARVING! Also 1/7 Americans are hungry! 40% of food is WASTED! So in conclusion, children and adults should eat what they can or donate their surplus, or extra food.
