Expiration date

The idea of not using expiration dates was hard for some but, when presented with the information and cost effectiveness it was difficult not to take a closer look at how this new procedure could and would benefit health care facilities. Armed with new policies and more training, health care workers were ready for the challenge of implementing this new idea. Introduction The sterilization process has been in use for a very long time. The use of expiration dates gave, and still gives

Americans throw away billions of pounds of food, worth billions of dollars and enough to feed millions of people each year. Wasted food is the single largest component of American landfills.

The dropped sales of cereal. One of the main issues that I have noticed about my idea of making All-In-One product is the dropping sales of consumption of cereals. As the data shows the consumption of cereal has dropped about 5-7 percent these past couple of years (Trafecante, 2016).

My first activity that I was involved in with Catholic Social Services was the food pantry. As my children progressed through high school, I knew certain classes or clubs were involved with participating in food drives.

Companies are also not charities, which is why companies should be incentivized to donate food with tax breaks, large corporations already get one, charity's

The Rotten Damage of Food Waste Growing up, children were most likely told to always finish all the food on their plates because somewhere else in the world, another child was starving. Most kids never really understand how serious the matter actually is and it is expected for adults to know better but here we are in 2016 where roughly one third of food produced is wasted every year. The problem with this is that about 21,000 people die per day from starvation, but where is that food they need to

frequent replacement of resources due to manufacturer shelf-life expiration dates has proven to be a great challenge. Historical Perspective In 1981, the United States Military began stockpiling large quantities of critical pharmaceuticals and medical supplies (Khan, et al., 2014). Following an audit of the stockpile in 1985, the Government Accountability Office found that $9 million of medications were about to reach their labeled expiration date, and would need to be discarded (Khan, et al., 2014).

Earth have an expiration date? It just might. If we don 't do something to help our environment there will be no future generations. Our earth has been sending us warnings and distress signals for over forty years such as the collapse of the North Atlantic cod fishery which left thirty thousand people unemployed and seven hundred communities in poverty.
