Upcycling avocado pits into pink tea and other efforts to counter food waste

Food waste is costing us all: The environmental and financial cost of spoiled food

February 14, 2018 -

Researchers from Karlstad University came to this conclusion after studying the fruit and vegetable waste of three large retailers in Sweden. Based on the amount of food wasted, the economic cost, and the resulting negative effect on the climate, the study identified seven different fruits, vegetables, and fresh food that make up the bulk of the spoiled food thrown out by retail stores. And bananas are apparently the top offenders given they're expensive and have ...

Top 7 ways most Americans WASTE money

June 26, 2023 -

How many Americans have "walked for the cure" (or run) for some huge corporate scam organization that gives 99 percent of the donated money to the pharma thugs that run the show (and it is just a show)? When really, the "search for the cure" for cancer to them means promoting harmful diagnostic tests (mammogram scam-o-grams), pushing for chemotherapy and radiation, and promoting useless surgeries that just temporarily stave off the inevitable. Got bad food disease? Don't use bad ...

The German Federal Ministry of Health (BMG) did not provide the total number of COVID-19 vaccine doses discarded in the second quarter of 2023. It told POLITICO in an email: "Accordingly, a total volume of total disposed COVID-19 vaccine doses acquired ...

EVs chew through tires at a shocking rate … producing mountains of excess rubber tire waste

20 days ago -

Because of their relatively extreme heft," to quote one source, EVs burn through tires like it's nobody's business, creating mountains of excess tire waste and excess tire and infrastructure bills.

The latest J.D. Power reports show that EV owners generally expect similar wear-and-tear on their EV cars as their internal combustion cars. The reality, though, is that EVs require new tires much more often than internal combustion engine cars do.

In many ways, EV adoption ...

The plastics industry knew RECYCLING WOULDN’T WORK, and now plastic waste is POISONING the planet

2 months ago -

For decades, Americans were told that recycling old bottles and food containers could help save the environment from plastic waste. But regardless of the insistent claim that recycling is key to a greener planet, the data doesn't lie: Only a small fraction of plastics can be recycled.

Researchers have reported that between 1990 and 2015, at least 90 percent of all plastic used has either ended up in landfills, burned or were left to decompose and leak into the environment....

French startup opens world’s first solar panel recycling factory to address “waste mountain” expected by 2050

June 14, 2023 -

The factory, owned by specialist solar recycling company ROSI, aims to extract and reuse up to 99 percent of a thrown-out solar panel's components, including its precious metals.

Solar panels have an average lifespan of 25 to 30 years, at most, and experts warn that this relatively short lifetime will force the world to soon face a monumental waste problem as more and more of these solar panels reach the endpoint of their usability. (Related: Relying solely on wind and ...

Approximately 63,000 square-miles of flood plains and 297,800 miles of rivers are now polluted, due to aggressive “green energy” mining operations.

Mining for “clean energy” minerals has left more than 23 million people exposed to TOXIC WASTE in their water, environment

September 28, 2023 -

The reckless transition to "clean" energy has created an environmental disaster of epic proportions, the paper reveals. In just the few short years that green energy has been a thing, harvesting it has already caused more ecological damage to the planet than has the more than 150 years' worth of drilling and mining for earth-based "fossil" fuels that has occurred since the industrial revolution.

What this means, of course, is that green energy is anything but clean, ...
