The High Cost of Wasted Food

June 10, 2024 by Marion Leave a Comment

Are you aware of the high cost of food waste?  In 2021, $310 billion (not a type-o) was spent on food that was wasted, most of which ended up in a landfill.  But the cost of food waste is not the only consideration.  Food waste also contributes to climate crisis.  When food waste is dumped in landfills, it releases methane gas into the atmosphere, which is 80 times more harmful than CO2.

Got Methane?

November 7, 2023 by Marion Leave a Comment

Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas that is 28-30 % more potent than CO2.  That makes it a big concern.  According to the UN’s Climate and Clean Air Coalition, “Reducing human-caused methane emissions is one of the most cost-effective strategies to rapidly reduce the rate of warming and contribute significantly to global efforts to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C. “

Rights of Nature: A Global Movement

August 14, 2023 by Marion Leave a Comment

Rights of Nature Law allows rivers, mountains, and ecosystems to have legal rights. The law addresses our dysfunctional economic system and the legal, social and political frameworks that are destroying people and planet.  This movement changes our worldview from Nature as property to be owned to the right of Nature to be protected.
