Food Waste

In our society, but especially in Switzerland, we have a lot of food available and never have to worry about not having enough. Unfortunately, we also waste a lot and throw away a lot of food that is still in good condition. This is a great pity, because many people in other places suffer from hunger.

The seperation of waste

The seperation of waste is really important and also (in my opinion) actually easy to do.

Just think about all the waste you produce everyday. Do you seperate the ifferent types of waste? 

In Switzerland we have many possibilities to seperate our waste correctly and in an easy way. For example: I thought about the different trash-collectors at the train station. It should not matter for somebody to walk 20 meters and throw your trash away were it is more likely to be recycled afterwards than somewere else.

 

Overfishing

Overfishing 

Surprise is a big problem in our society. We fish without consideration and exploit the seas mercilessly. Scientists predict that fish prices will rise in the coming years and that we have already overfished more than 90% of our oceans in the last 30 years.
