To the editor: Moreover fueling local weather change, how about exacerbating drought? Lots of water went into rising the meals that Individuals discard after Thanksgiving. (“Individuals will throw out 316 million kilos of meals on Thanksgiving. Right here’s the way it fuels local weather change,” Nov. 26)
In relation to meals waste, our lawmakers ought to deal with the thousands and thousands of kilos of meals discarded by supermarkets. Produce and meat shows are always saved pristine; something that doesn’t look good is usually discarded. The much less meals that we have to develop, the much less water we use to develop it.
And the way about airways serving meals? Further meals are provisioned on flights and discarded after touchdown. Whether or not you need it or not, a roll with butter is given. The cows offering the milk for that butter are a significant supply of methane emissions.
