The goal of this petition to bring awareness to the general public of how the food produced for our consumption impacts the natural environment. Watch Tristram's TED talk, uncovering the global food waste availavle at scandalhttp://www.tristramstuart.co.uk/default.html
The website provides information about a global movement to change how we view and use food and how much of it we waste (according to Tristram Stewart "A third of the world's entire food supply could be saved by reducing waste - or enough to feed 3 billion people; and this would still leave enough surplus for countries to provide their populations with 130 per cent of their nutritional requirements."[font changes by A.M.]).
The change can be implemented on many levels, personal - by accounting how much food we buy and eat in our own homes, communal - by how the local stores, restaurants, other businesses selling/handling food deal with "ugly" or "old" food, and municipal/provincial/national - by encouraging the different levels of government to implement laws that stop the immense waste of food.
Let's take a good, honest look at how we use the food we have available and make the change!
Thank you for reading my petition.
