WORLD PROBLEM
As of 2011, 1.3 billion tons of food are lost or wasted annually (about one third
of the global food production).
*****
Loss & wastage occurs on all steps in the food supply chain. In low-income countries, most loss occurs during production, while in developed countries much food (approx. 100 kgs or 220 lbs per person and year) is wasted at the consumption stage.

DOMESTIC PROBLEM
In 2010, 73 billion disposable cups & plastic water bottles in the U.S. ended
up in landfill (about 230 per person).
*****
Those had drained the natural resources while producing million of pounds of waste & high levels greenhouse gases, which cause the global phenomenon called CLIMATE CHANGE.
