Food Waste is a Global Problem with a Big Carbon FootprintOne-third of all food produced is wasted every year – approximately 1.3 billion tons. The UN Environment Program estimates that 3.3 billion tons of CO2 are emitted annually from the resources used to produce wasted food. In the United States alone, 133 billion pounds of edible food, valued at $161 billion, is wasted every year. Replate's SolutionEnter Replate: a technology-based nonprofit that works to reduce food insecurity and waste while mitigating food waste´s effects on climate change. The organization provides a solution for businesses to donate surplus food to nearby nonprofits operating throughout the United States and the Middle East. Replate's services are designed to prevent such food waste through source reduction and donating meals to communities experiencing food insecurity. Its algorithm connects donor organizations to nonprofits, diverting food from landfills while increasing food access. How Replate WorksTheir organization operates through a web app. Donors can schedule pick-up services, then track the environmental and social impact of their donations. Nonprofits can sign up to receive donations using an online form. Replate then works to understand these organizations' capacity and food needs before drop off. Replate works with hundreds of corporations including Netflix, Boston Consulting Group, Whole Foods, Chipotle, Walmart, and more to match businesses with communities in need. Since its founding, Replate has recovered over 3.6 million pounds of food, delivered over three million meals, and served 301 nonprofits. It estimates that to date the program has saved 985 million gallons of water and diverted 3,686 tons of carbon emissions.Connections to California Composting GoalsAs organic material like food and agricultural waste decomposes, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas eighty-four times more potent than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over a 20-year period. Enacted in January 2022, California's Short-Lived Pollutant Reduction law SB-1383 targets is trying to address methane emissions due to organic waste. SB-1383 is expected to reduce California's methane emissions from organic materials in traditional landfills by an estimated twenty percent. As part of the law, large food service providers, distributors, and industries falling under the Tier 1 category—food service providers, food distributors, wholesale food vendors, supermarkets and grocery stores over 10,000 square feet—are required to reduce their organic waste material disposal. Platforms like Replate can help businesses reduce their food waste and comply with SB-1383. Maen Mahfoud is the founder and CEO of Replate. Witnessing the alarming levels of food insecurity, and enormous amounts of food waste in the Bay Area, his knowledge of the massive effects of food waste on our planet motivated Mahfoud to launch Replate in 2016. Maen is a DRK entrepreneur, a 2023 recipient of the James Irvine Foundation Leadership, and was sponsored by Harvard Business School's Executive Program. Mahfoud holds a Master's in Public Health from Imperial College London, a degree in Molecular Biology from UC Berkeley, and a Human-Computer Interaction for User Experience Design Certificate from MIT.  For a transcript, please visit https://climatebreak.org/optimizing-food-waste-recovery-through-algorithms-with-maen-mahfoud/

The City of Winnipeg, in partnership with Compost Winnipeg, has launched 15 composting drop-off locations to help residents reduce landfill waste and greenhouse gas emissions by diverting organic waste.

On Midday Edition Tuesday, we get practical tips on how to handle organic food waste, as well as hear about some of the common mistakes people make when it comes to recycling. Then, a new study from UC San Diego found differences in how certain news outlets cover the topic of climate change.

WM will begin delivering a new 3rd cart for organic waste to residential customers in the City of Tehachapi beginning Monday June 17. We talk with Ashley Cortes from WM to explain how the new 3rd cart will work and when they will be collected curbside. The 3rd cart for organics is State of California mandated via SB 1383. We explain the why this is happening and what to expect moving forward. Send your questions, thoughts and suggestions to Media@TehachapiCityHall.com. 

Today on the show, we take a look at some of the innovative strides in sustainable waste management with Mah Jun Kit, Founder and CEO of BioLoop, a pioneering startup transforming Malaysia's palm oil waste landscape.BioLoop utilises Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) to convert organic waste into valuable protein for aquaculture and animal feeds, significantly reducing ecological damage and greenhouse gas emissions. With over 8000 metric tons of waste processed, BioLoop not only enhances Malaysia's environmental sustainability but also boosts its economy by creating new jobs and producing organic fertilisers.Along the course of the conversation, Jun Kit will be helping us digest the global potential of BSFL technology and its economic and environmental impact, how Bioloop is unique in this market and what's in the pipeline for this BSFL solutions enterprise to help Malaysia position itself as a leader in sustainable agriculture.

Cromwell farmer Robbie Dick and his 100 million tiger worms are saving up to 30 tonnes of waste every week.

Sarah Stallard is a 7th generation farmer who came to work with her uncles on a new farm near Las Vegas Nevada raising hogs. The farm is in partnership with the local waste and recycling company Republic Services. They lease the land from Republic Services and use food waste to feed the hogs. She says the partnership was formed “to help find a solution to organic waste." The family had always fed food scraps as pigs “are not picky about what food scraps” they eat.  Sarah describes the process of collecting, sorting, and feeding tons of mixed rations from casino kitchens and buffets, facilities such as an ice cream factory, and grocery stores. What the farm produces is marketed locally, and they do face challenges due to the lack of an USDA processing plant for meat in Nevada. The family's dream is to “complete the circle” through having their locally produced food offered in the casinos. She also describes how the hogs are housed and raised sustainably and humanely. There is a lot of attention paid to what they are doing to reduce food waste, and they are “willing to help and network with other farmers,” including hosting many tours. About this work, Sarah says, “I can feel really good about what I'm doing; it's good to know that I'm making a difference daily.”____________Thanks for listening to Fresh Growth!

Warren Phelan, Manager of the Circular Economy Programme with the Environmental Protection Agency, discusses the EPA's call for organic waste bins to be urgently rolled out to homes and businesses that do not already have them.

In this episode, Avril speaks with Jeremy Lang, founder and VP of Sustainability at Pela. The company is best known for its biodegradable phone cases and its countertop composter, Lomi. We live in a world where the food system is broken. So much food is either lost or spoiled. What makes Lomi incredible is that in just 3-5 hours, it breaks down food scraps into nutrient-rich plant food. This leads to easier waste disposal and reduced food waste sent to landfills.    Check out the show notes here.

It is tragic that 31% of the world's food production goes uneaten.  About 14% isn't distributed after it is harvested.  Another 17% ends up wasted in retail or by consumers.  Worldwide, the amount of food that is wasted is enough to feed more than a billion people while at least 828 million people continue to […]

Tea is great for so many reasons. One of these reasons is that it's established a unique culture for mastering the benefits and uses of tea. In following this line of thought, let's try to better understand nonwoven fabric tea bags and their use in your garden and/or organic waste disposal. What exactly are we talking about here? Tea bags, as you probably have witnessed, come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and makes. One of these makes is called “nonwoven fabric”. Nonwoven fabrics are “sheet or web structures bonded together by entangling fiber or filaments (and by perforating films) mechanically, thermally, or chemically.” What exactly does that mean? Basically, they are flat sheets of a thin cloth-like material that allow for certain elements to pass through them and are created from either separate fibers or plastic.

On this episode of Five Minute Friday, Bob is talking trash! No, not the smack talk variety, but rather new California legislation which has taken effect regarding the disposal of organic waste. This is something for CA landlords and property managers alike to be aware of, especially for multifamily buildings and apartment communities. Why is California doing this? California throws away more than 6 Million tons of food waste every year and more than 24 tons of combined “green organic waste”. SB 1383 is the new law which aims to reduce the short-lived pollutants that many Californians are currently putting in our landfills. Why is this important? The reason is that landfill organic waste emits methane, a super pollutant that is more powerful as a greenhouse gas than CO2. SB 1383 advocates are targeting Californians to reduce organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025. For those wanting more information on SB 1383 and California composting requirements, visit the Cal Recycle website at this web link: California Composting Requirements Website:https://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/organics/slcp/ Thank you for joining Five Minute Friday, TGIF and we will catch you next week!Connect with BobSan Diego Property Managementhttps://www.ncpropertygroup.com/This episode is always available for listening, sharing, or download at Property Management Brainstorm.

Once again, an idea brought forward by a member of City Council who is not one of the Mayor's Executive Policy Councillors (EPC) dies with no debate, no discussion, no questions, no inquiries, and no collaboration. Klein shares a recent example of a composting tax-credit idea that died and the EPC alternative, if and when it is city-wide, may cost taxpayers more money. What was the Composting Tax-Credit Motion? Let's begin with a few organic waste “Did You Knows.” Solid Waste Collection Expenses - $25 Million per year Solid Waste Disposal Expenses - $15 Million per year Long Term Landfill Expenses not included Total Expense (Collection + Disposal) - $40 Million per year Total Garbage in 2020 – 195,000 Metric Tonnes 44% of Residential Garbage is Compostable Organics According to the Public Service, implementing the collection of organics would be very costly to taxpayers. I think people are paying more than enough and would welcome a new approach.Winnipeg has very ambitious green objectives, but we are doing little to achieve them. We can use funding from the green initiative reserve account to support the implementation and staffing. The concept is not new. The Mayor's Executive Policy Committee Member's approved the same thing two years ago for another internal position. I have received emails from residents in support of the concept. One has been compositing for 30-years. A few reminded me of a time when the City handed out free composting bins. At home composting can work in tandem with green bin collection. They can complement each other. They are not competing policies. My motion is not meant to override the current green bin pilot project. Like recycling, at home composting is just another tool in the toolbox. The motion is meant to be cost neutral. There should be no additional cost to the city. $1 million in rebates must equate to $1 million in cost savings in collection, disposal, and long-term dumping costs. That is why I am asking for a report back. We have been talking about organic waste collection for years at City Hall, and so far we only have a pilot project underway. If a resident makes the city more efficient, more environmentally friendly, reducing costs, making the city a better place to live then they should directly benefit from their efforts. I want to focus on results, getting things done for our City. I want to get things done.

Join us for an exciting interview on indoor organic waste composting and the special role worms play in it! Cathy Nesbitt, our guest today, is a Worm Advocate and Founder of Cathy's Crawly Composters (established in 2002!). She is on a mission to put worms in every living space. She believes worms are going to play an ever-increasing role in waste management, soil production, and therefore food security. I think it is essential that we all learn how! Tune in and get inspired! Show notes and more information at annachashchyna.com

Rasa Tumaseviciute from the Bologna-Trento-Zurich Journey is currently doing a PhD on organic waste and circular bioeconomy in Lithuania. By implementing circular economy in waste management and conducting contemporary research she aims to create bio-plastic that is cost-competitive and compostable. In this short episode, we haved asked Rasa for advice on how to best start in the field of climate action and sustainability. After telling us about how she got inspired herself, she highlights the importance of empathy, taking small steps and finding like-minded people. Give yourself time, she says. "Grab a reusable bag, bottle, or go to the merchant and say I want to get better quality". Can you guess what Rasa is about to tackle to change next? If you want to know more about how our ecoweb works, systems and deeper design thinking, check out the recommendations that Rasa gave us: The book Biomimicry by Janine M. Benyus (https://biomimicry.org/janine-benyus/) Rasa herself got inspired by a talk about the climate crists by Al Gore. He has given many TED talks, you can check them out on Youtube.

We have a Federal criminal justice system, each State has it’s own criminal justice system and each State does

What if you go abroad to study, will you want to come back to your country? Many of us would wonder what would we do in a situation like this. Here is a girl from India who goes to the U.S to study, comes back and applies her learnings to start her own company. A company that has prevented over 12,000 tonnes of organic waste from entering landfills, saved 600+ tonnes of LPG and prevented the generation of more than four lakh tonnes of carbon dioxide. Tune in this to motivating story with RJ Sharat.

Story 1: China stepping up regulations to eliminate single use plastics. Story 2: Swedish researchers find a way to convert organic waste to biogas using membrane bioreactors. Story 3: The EIA predicts wind, solar, hydro, and energy storage will account for 78% of new electrical generation capacity in 2020.

Dear Wachama People! With the development of agriculture throughout history we are witnessing the process of more and more control over Mother nature. It is especially true in the case of modern agriculture whit all of its inventions such as fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, high-tech machinery and gene-technology. And even more specifically in the case of controlled indoor systems. Unfortunately, most of such innovations aimed to set up centralized systems, externalize social and environmental costs when they create their business models. Our health is in jeopardy and resources are being wasted along the supply chain. While these system superiority over nature itself is often claimed. Alex van Tuyll is a Master student in biosystems engineering at Wageningen University. His initial interest started with a home-made hydroponics system, that he set up in his home’s attic as a teenager. This experience determined his choice of higher education as he wanted to learn as much as possible about, how to set up indoor agriculture systems. After several years of investigating such systems he learned a lot about their viability. His main motivation behind these studies is to use organic waste for food production. On his journey on figuring out how to create more efficient nutrient cycles, Alex found an approach being developed known as AMI (pronounced like ‘Jamie’): aquaponics, mushrooms, and insects. Studying AMI Alex faced the complexity how nature actually works within the system itself. This new insight made Alex’s view shift from willing to control nature to set up systems that are mimicking natural principles and collaborating with it. So far it was a pretty steep learning curve during the Wageningen years and it is not over yet, there is still lot to learn and investigate.

Dagens unga är viktiga ambassadörer för det livskraftiga Dalarna! För att uppmuntra dessa delar Dalakraft ut stipendier till drivna kulturutövare, entreprenörer och eldsjälar som vill bidra till en positiv utveckling av samhället, i smått och i stort. Detta under parollen ”Ung Dalakraft”! I detta avsnitt av ”Uppdrag spänning” möter Jon Norberg flera av Dalarnas unga krafter som tilldelats stipendiet och Dalakrafts egen Rita Adolfsen, en av initiativtagarna och drivkraften bakom Ung Dalakraft. Vi får lyssna till hur stipendiet bidragit till deras utveckling och vilka möjligheter det ger till att våga satsa och planera för framtiden. 2017 tilldelades bl.a Kalle Hansols 50.000kr för sitt arbete med att återetablera Svärdsjöliften. 2018 års stipendium tilldelades dansaren Daniella Eriksson som vill göra den moderna dansen tillgänglig på landsbygden genom en turné i Dalarna, Organic Waste för att utveckla sin produkt som avhjälper problem med egen kompostering och No Connection utvecklar ett koncept för att hjälpa människor att koppla ner och koppla av. Över en lite raspig telefonlina från Moskva möter vi Daniella som kämpar för att kunna leva på sin dans och hitta nya vägar till att kunna göra det hon älskar mest, att dansa. Daniella berättar att stipendiet ger henne möjlighet att utveckla sitt konstnärliga uttryck i den riktning hon själv vill, att göra modern dans tillgänglig utanför storstäderna. Vi får även möta Kalle som berättar hur han med hjälp av stipendiet kunde möta utmaningarna i att återetablera Svärdsjöliften. Nu med ständigt ökande besökarantal och positiva kommentarer vågar nu Kalle tänka på framtiden och planera för nya skidområden i anläggningen. Dalarnas unga bär vår framtid. Dessa ska vi uppmuntra och vårda.
