Long day, followed by an extremely grueling frisbee league game. I'm bushed. My muscles are aching, my whole body is sore. All I want to do is go to sleep but my mind is still racing.
And of course I can't leave you empty-handed. So why not present you with a little video. It's been some time since I've posted something that carries some weight with it or has some social context (instead of something like "check out this cool time lapse or my road trip through a bunch of countries). When I first saw what I'm about to show you, as short as it is, I was absolutely shocked. Not so much by the numbers, but how the waste in produced. You'd assume better practices or technology would be introduced to fix the problems. But then again - that's only half the problem. Think about all the food post consumer that is being wasted. It's absolutely mind numbing that there are still people starving all around the world and so much food is just thrown away. Come on people! What the hell!? 165 billion annually!? For real!? And it's disgusting how much water is used to produce said food. Think about all that could go to the nations that battle for fresh water daily.
I don't want to dissect everything - watch it for yourself. But I know after watching it I'm certainly going to be more conscious about what I buy at the store and order at a restaurant. There is no reason to put anything to waste. There are people out there who need it more than we do.
