Upcycled Food: An Innovative Way to Combat Food Waste

January 28, 2023

In elementary school, the first environmental lesson you probably learned revolved around the importance of “the three R´s:” reduce, reuse, and recycle. Given the fact that U.S. children make up only 3.7 percent of children on the planet but have 47 percent of all toys and children’s books, the lesson of “reducing” the amount of stuff we purchase and own is probably pretty relevant to most young people in the United States and other “developed” countries. However, given the fact that the...

The Complex Associations between Diet and the Environment

February 11, 2022

Eating is an agricultural act, as Wendell Berry famously said. It is also an ecological act, and a political act, too. Though much has been done to obscure this simple fact, how and what we eat determines to a great extent the use we make of the world - and what is to become of it. To eat with a fuller consciousness of all that is at stake might sound like a burden, but in practice, few things in life can afford quite as much satisfaction. By comparison, the pleasures of eating industrially,...

Problems with Recycling and the Promise of Reusable Packaging

November 16, 2021

The food packaging we use today is often seen as a necessary evil. Almost every consumer appreciates that packaging is designed to make food safe, reliable, and clean. The brands that make and market perishable food items certainly value the fact that packaging can increase the shelf stability of the food product while allowing a unique opportunity for marketing.
