Especially in United States where I live there’s so much waste. And I mean that in general we’re probably the most wasteful country in the world.This is such a good thing more of this needs to happen especially where I live. The US needs to get involved to help eliminate food waste which there is a tremendous amount of it. This is an alternative that needs to be emphasize and brought to everybody’s attention how important is to make use of waste and make it productive which is a win-win for everyone.

This is such a good video showcasing how important it is to use our food waste wisely. THanks for visiting all these places for us!

India also subsidises the installation of the biogas technology at home. i have a small version of what is shown in the video at my home. We use both the fertilizer in our garden and the methane gas to cook with.

My country has a lot of biogas facilities but the problem is they mostly don't use waste, they grow corn only for that purpose and chop it up and i don't find it sustainable to take space from crops for eating and taking it to make gas, when you could use garden scraps from communities or local farmers and maybe restaurants and fast food chains in my region I'd say about 70 % (I'm only guessing here) of fields are used only for biogas production and that in my opinion defeats the purpose of being environmentally friendly and sustainable. I mean my town (3000 people including communities that are around us) we have 2 major biogas facilities...

A lot of resources are being put into single use items. First of all remove all food related single use plastics and their alternatives. We should switch to reusables. The only single use that requires alternatives is medical equipment. Everyone should focus on that.
