Welcome back everyone to the Adventures in Sustainable Living Podcast. This is your host Patrick and this is E264 which is part two of Food Waste: The World's Most Solvable Environmental Problem. In the last episode we covered the first five out of ten reasons why the reduction of food waste has such a significant positive environment impact. Unlike so many other global problems, reducing our food waste is one of the easiest things we can do as individuals. There are ten reasons why food waste is the world's most solvable environment problem. In the last episode we covered five of those reasons. Now, just for a quick review:-The solutions already exist. This means we do not need new technology or new science. The solutions are simple, proven, and accessible to everyone. -Prevention is far cheaper than clean up. While most solutions for environmental problems focus on managing the damage after it has already happened, prevention of food waste cost less than disposal and the pay back is immediate. -Individuals have the real power. While most global environment problems feel distant and abstract, food waste prevention can happen without waiting for governments, corporations and the implementation of new laws. We all participate in our food systems everyday so we have the ability to do something about it today. -It reduces multiple environmental impacts at once. Because of the nature of our food systems, waste prevention effect climate change, addresses water scarcity, land degradation and reduces energy consumption all at once. -Most wasted food is perfectly edible. Since our food systems are inefficient, risk-averse, and culturally distorted, they are built for waste. The majority of wasted food is actually perfectly edible and we can do something about it. But, before we get to the next 5 reasons as to why food waste is the world's most solvable environmental problem, let's first talk about the good news story of the week.

In this episode, we explore the strange signals people use to interpret global events, from Pentagon pizza orders and satellite data to the Big Mac Index and other unconventional measures of economic reality. We examine the decline of Google search, the rise of AI-powered alternatives, and why new tools are changing how people actually find information. For the “foolishness of the week”, we detail an unfortunate incident involving a piece of World War I artillery, before turning to a broader cultural debate about nostalgia for the 1950s. With guest Andrew Heaton, we unpack myths about work, gender roles, housing, healthcare, and prosperity, comparing mid-century life to modern standards of living. Along the way, we discuss food abundance, technological progress, wage compensation, inequality, and whether people genuinely want to return to the past or simply romanticize it from a distance. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:28 Pentagon Pizza Orders and “Pizza Intelligence” 02:51 Proxy Signals, Satellite Data, and the Waffle House Index 04:25 The Big Mac Index and Measuring Cost of Living 05:00 The Decline of Google Search and Sponsored Results 07:19 Switching Search Engines and the Myth of Google Monopoly 09:54 AI Search Tools and Why They Actually Work 11:28 Foolishness of the Week: World War I Artillery Incident 13:43 How Bad Ideas Escalate at Parties 15:51 Introducing Andrew Heaton 16:39 Was the 1950s a Time or a Place? 18:43 Economic Reality vs 1950s Nostalgia 20:58 Women's Work, Household Labor, and Misleading Myths 23:56 Food Costs, Eating Out, and Modern Abundance 25:46 Medicine, Lifespan, and Why 50s Healthcare Was Worse 27:57 Housing Size, Zoning, and the Cost of Homes 30:01 Cars, Air Conditioning, and Quality of Life Improvements 31:17 Mortgage Rates and Why Housing Feels Unaffordable Now 34:02 Manufacturing, Exports, and the “We Don't Make Anything” Myth 35:35 Agricultural Productivity and Modern Farming 37:19 Food Waste as a Measure of Prosperity 37:42 Great Depression Scarcity and Generational Habits 39:59 Transportation Costs and Higher Quality Modern Vehicles 42:50 Car Safety, Seatbelts, and Survival Rates 43:42 Wages, Benefits, and What “Compensation” Really Means 45:29 What the 1950s Actually Did Better 47:52 Inequality, Community, and Social Capital in the 50s 49:44 Technology, Isolation, and Choosing Modern Life 52:05 Longing for Silence from Technology 53:18 The Mythology of Happy Days Learn more about your ad choices.

If you spend enough time watching the news, then you already know that our world has a long list of problems. Many of these issues, especially the environmental ones, seem so far out of our reach that we doubt whether or not our personal efforts will ever make a difference. The good news is nothing could be further from the truth. There are a lot of things we do everyday that make a significant difference for a whole list of reasons. One of those things is controlling our food waste. This is far simpler than you think and the best part is that our actions have an immediate impact. So join me for E263, Food Waste, The World's Most Solvable Environmental Problem.

Je moderner ein Auto – desto teurer die Reparatur. Das führt zu höheren Prämien bei der Autoversicherung. Der Experte sieht dunkle Wolken aufziehen am Prämienhimmel 2026. Ausserdem im «Kassensturz»: Ticket-Ärger mit der Swiss. Und: Die Weihnachtsrepo mit der Heldin von Langenthal. Kostenfalle Auto-Reparatur – Versicherungsprämien steigen 2026 Moderne Autos werden zunehmend komplexer und digitalisierter. Dies führt zu Problemen bei Reparaturen. Einerseits weil oft keine einzelnen Teile, sondern nur ganze Komponenten ausgewechselt werden können. Andererseits weil Hersteller zum Teil sogenannte Softwaresperren einsetzen. Diese verhindern den Einbau günstiger Occasionsersatzteile. Kritiker sehen darin eine Strategie, teure neue Ersatzteile zu verkaufen. Die Autohersteller weisen den Vorwurf zurück und berufen sich auf europäische Richtlinien. Die steigenden Reparatur-Kosten wirken sich direkt auf die Versicherungsprämien aus, die laut der Versicherung Axa und dem Schweizerischen Versicherungsverband SVV aktuell Rekordhöhen erreichen. Selbst unfallfreie Fahrer müssten für nächstes Jahr mit deutlichen Aufschlägen rechnen, sagt der Versicherungsexperte im «Kassensturz». Kundenärger bei Swiss – Stornierung ohne Zustimmung Thomas Studer ist vorsichtig: Weil er seinen Fuss verknackste, erkundigte er sich vorsorglich bei der Swiss, ob er seinen Flug auf die Kapverden allenfalls stornieren könnte. Nur wenig später: Der Flug ist ungewollt storniert – und lediglich 50 Franken auf Studers Konto. Bezahlt hat er 1500 Franken für den Flug. Nachdem der «Kassensturz» interveniert, sichert Swiss die volle Rückerstattung des Ticketpreises zu. Heldin von Langenthal – Wie eine 83-Jährige Hoffnung spendet Seit 21 Jahren kämpft die 83-jährige Esther Schönmann mit ihrer Langenthaler «Gassenküche» gegen Armut und Foodwaste. Woche für Woche sammelt sie überschüssige, aber einwandfreie Lebensmittel, die sonst weggeworfen würden: Über 200 Säcke mit Grundnahrungsmitteln gehen so wöchentlich an Menschen, die am Existenzminimum leben – auch an Weihnachten. Trotz ihres unermüdlichen Einsatzes denkt Esther Schönmann langsam ans Aufhören. Doch die grosse Nachfrage, auch von Flüchtlingen, zeigt die anhaltende Notwendigkeit ihrer Mission.

They discuss how the program connects farmers, gardeners, markets, and local feeding partners to reduce landfill waste and increase availability to nutritious food. The episode outlines WiN-WiN's local partners — including Revived Life House, the Man of Meals program at Nicholasville Methodist Church, the Jesmond County Food Pantry, the Kentucky United Methodist Children's independent living program, and Bethel Harvest — and explains the program's focus on logistics, food safety, recipes, toolkits, and training to help organizations use and preserve donated foods. Listeners also hear national food-waste facts, practical tips to reduce waste at home (meal planning, proper storage, using “ugly” produce, freezing, and repurposing leftovers), and ways to get involved: donate produce, volunteer with transport or partner organizations, and access WiN-WiN resources online and on social media.

The Trump administration has caused issues of significant food waste due to a range of its policies, including immigration raids, tariffs, cuts to food assistance programmes, and the destruction of food for programmes like USAID. This has had huge consequences, including environmental impacts, as well as impacts on the estimated more than 47 million people in the US who don't have enough food to eat, and those who have relied on US foreign aid that has been cut. For International Desk, Wire Host Caeden spoke to Garrett Graddy-Lovelace, Provost Associate Professor in Environment, Development & Health at American University, about these issues.

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're talking about one of the least-visible but largest waste problems in the world: food processing waste. Every time fruits or vegetables are peeled, chopped, juiced, or processed, mountains of perfectly good plant material get thrown out or sold for pennies. It's expensive, it's inefficient, and it's a huge climate problem.My guest is Michelle Ruiz, founder and CEO of Hyfe, a company unlocking the massive value hidden in this “waste.” Hyfe has developed a clean, water-based technology that can deconstruct food waste into high-value ingredients—like natural antioxidants that can replace carcinogenic petrochemical additives, fibers for gut health, and eventually the bio-based molecules that could power the broader bioeconomy.Instead of paying to get rid of waste, food processors can turn it into a whole new revenue stream — while reducing emissions and building real circularity into the food system.We get into:Why food processing waste is one of the biggest untapped feedstocks in the worldHow Hyfe's process “unlocks” the compounds inside plant material without toxic solventsThe clean-label antioxidants that can replace petrochemical additives already being banned in multiple statesWhy fibers are booming — and how food companies want cleaner, more functional sourcesHow this technology could one day replace a chunk of the petrochemical industryThe business model: why food processors, not consumers, are Hi-Fey's real customersMichelle's journey from oil refinery engineer to World Economic Forum Tech PioneerThe role of circularity, resilience, and adaptation in the future food systemLinks:Hyfe: https://hyfe.tech/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

I want to hear your thoughts about the show and this episode. Text us here...What happens when two women working behind the scenes in Hollywood decide they're done watching perfectly good gourmet meals go in the trash? They build a movement.In today's powerful conversation, I sit down with CNN Everyday Hero nominee Hillary Cohen and her powerhouse co-founder Samantha Liu, the founders of Everyday Action, a Los Angeles–based nonprofit rescuing untouched meals from film and TV sets and redirecting them to communities facing food insecurity.These two women are the definition of scrappy, heart-driven leadership. Since launching in 2020, they've redistributed more than 270,000 meals across LA — all while training drivers, building a volunteer network, and operating their nonprofit like a well-oiled production set.Together, we talk about the moment that sparked their work, the misconceptions about unhoused individuals, the emotional impact of giving with dignity, and how everyday people (yes, you and me) can be part of the solution.If you've ever wondered how small actions can lead to massive impact, this episode will light you up.In This Episode You'll Hear:The moment Hillary realized food waste on film sets wasn't “just the way it is”The behind-the-scenes reality of food waste in HollywoodWhat it really looks like to build a nonprofit with zero experience (and a whole lot of heart)The surprising challenges of delivering meals with dignityHow Everyday Action protects the humanity of those they serveThe emotional payoff of serving “just one person”Their dreams for expansion, including a fully fundeThis is an invitation to join a supportive community of purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are creating an impact in the world.A mastermind is a community of peers who exchange ideas, provide support, and offer sound advice for running a successful business.Join the Confident YOU Mastermind now at https://goconfidentlyservices.myflodesk.com/confidentyoumastermindSupport the showOther helpful resources for you: For more about me and what I do, check out my website.

My guest this week, Emma Atkins, is here to explore the role that refrigeration has played in our food waste. Emma is a PhD researcher at the University of Bristol in the UK. Her research looks at how fridges influence food waste, whether through design or its place in a food system geared towards overconsumption. She has a background in policy and advocacy, and recently wrote two reports tackling policy solutions for food waste and quality of food donations with Foodrise, which is a UK and EU-based NGO. Her website Food Waste Stories features articles about food waste in art, culture, policy, and academia, and advocates for a sustainable food system. In today's conversation, I speak with Emma about how fridges have evolved from earliest 1920s designs to become embedded in our modern food culture, the relationship between fridges and Costco hauls, the extreme fridge organization trends on TikTok, and the possibilities of more sustainably-minded fridge designs to reduce food waste in the future.

According to the United Nations, around one-third of all the food currently produced across the planet is being lost or wasted, oftentimes before it even reaches our plates. As well as the loss of essential sources of nutrition needed to feed the global population, issues in food supply chains are using up other vital resources such as water, labour and energy. So, what can we do to ensure that as much food as possible makes it from farm to fork without being wasted? As part of our four-part miniseries, Future of Food, we're joined by Dr Natalia Falagán, an Agricultural Engineer and Senior Lecturer in Food Science and Technology at Cranfield University. She explains the need for more joined-up thinking to help connect the different stages of our food production systems, the difference between use-by and best-before dates and tells us how growing something as simple as herbs in a kitchen window box can help us all deepen our relationships with the food we eat.

Do you wish you had more money to spend on groceries so you can buy more fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoy better health? Well, what if I told you that you don't need MORE money …but you have to first learn to stretch your shopping dollars – in the store and at home. This way, you can get MORE with each dollar that you do spend. Because here's the reality…there's a lot of food waste going around, and most households are losing significant amounts of produce AND money every week…from simply not knowing how to store produce, to not knowing how best to use what we do buy and bring back home. Let's change that. I want to help you maximize your shopping dollars and enjoy more of the fruits and veggies you bring home. Let's see how to do that with one specific vegetable, often used in homecooked meals. And that's cauliflower. Join me inside this episode!
