By keeping perfectly good food out of the dump, we could help solve Hunger and Climate Change.<br />
<br />
For this assignment, I followed Ms. Vang in Fresno. We visited 3 grocery stores and she was able to save over 800 pounds of food in one morning!<br />
All of the perfectly good food that included fruits, vegetables, steak, eggs, fish, and bread was going to be thrown away. I just couldn’t believe it.<br />
<br />
At one of the groceries we visited, the staff was pushing over a dozen boxes of rotten avocados to the trash bin. My heart sank, we came too late. <br />
<br />
Wasted food = wasted energy, money, man-hour, resources, transportation, water, etc. <br />
<br />
Because Ms. Vang doesn't have a facility to store the food she rescued, the food was quickly transferred to Centro La Familia, a neighborhood center, and they sorted and distributed the food to families that need them that same day. <br />
<br />
While doing research for this assignment, I came across these staggering statistics.  <br />
<br />
* 40% of food produced in the United States is wasted <br />
<br />
* 1 out of 5 children in the US doesn’t have enough to eat <br />
<br />
* $1 trillion worth of food is wasted annually<br />
<br />
* The average American family spends $1500 a year on wasted food <br />
<br />
* 1 billion pounds of food is wasted every year. <br />
<br />
* In the US over 90% of food scraps end up in Landfill<br />
<br />
* Food waste, when it rots in a landfill, produces methane gas, which quickly heats the planet.<br />
 <br />
* Methane is 23x more powerful than CO2 (formed when food scraps decompose without oxygen)<br />
<br />
* 60% of consumers throw away food prematurely because they don’t understand what the dates are telling them<br />
<br />
* Infant formula is the only food to have an expiration date regulated by the federal government <br />
<br />
* A Good Samaritan Act, anyone who wants to donate food can do so free of getting sued<br />
<br />

Wasted food = wasted energy, money, man-hour, resources, transportation, water, etc. <br />
<br />
Because Ms. Vang doesn't have a facility to store the food she rescued, the food was quickly transferred to Centro La Familia, a neighborhood center, and they sorted and distributed the food to families that need them that same day. <br />
<br />
While doing research for this assignment, I came across these staggering statistics.  <br />
<br />
* 40% of food produced in the United States is wasted <br />
<br />
* 1 out of 5 children in the US doesn’t have enough to eat <br />
<br />
* $1 trillion worth of food is wasted annually<br />
<br />
* The average American family spends $1500 a year on wasted food <br />
<br />
* 1 billion pounds of food is wasted every year. <br />
<br />
* In the US over 90% of food scraps end up in Landfill<br />
<br />
* Food waste, when it rots in a landfill, produces methane gas, which quickly heats the planet.<br />
 <br />
* Methane is 23x more powerful than CO2 (formed when food scraps decompose without oxygen)<br />
<br />
* 60% of consumers throw away food prematurely because they don’t understand what the dates are telling them<br />
<br />
* Infant formula is the only food to have an expiration date regulated by the federal government <br />
<br />
* A Good Samaritan Act, anyone who wants to donate food can do so free of getting sued<br />

By keeping perfectly good food out of the dump, we could help solve Hunger and Climate Change.<br />
<br />
For this assignment, I followed Ms. Vang in Fresno. We visited 3 grocery stores and she was able to save over 800 pounds of food in one morning!<br />
All of the perfectly good food that included fruits, vegetables, steak, eggs, fish, and bread was going to be thrown away. I just couldn’t believe it.<br />

  • Renew Breakup Bootcamp, a twice-yearly retreat for people who’ve gone through heartbreaks or struggled to find romantic partners. The recent retreat took place over four days at the Land, a 162-acre Northern California retreat center. 21 people, including four men, to participate. The group that gathered in Northern California ranged in age from 22 to 61 and covered a variety of backgrounds and geographies — some participants traveling from as far as Alberta, Canada; New Jersey, and Texas. Some had been through recent breakups like I had, while others were navigating custody battles with their ex-spouses.<br />
<br />
The retreat, which typically costs $3,495 to $3,995, included three nights of lodging in a cabin, three meals per day cooked by a private chef and a busy schedule of programming and activities. In addition to being drug and alcohol free, the boot camp was digital free.<br />
<br />
“Some people would think this was a waste of money, but it’s because we value material things,” Molina said. “We don’t value ourselves. We don’t value our mental health.”<br />
<br />
Prior to arrival, participants were told only that they’d be engaging in workshops with therapists, coaches, movement and yoga instructors and a dominatrix. However, there were two ground rules: We weren’t allowed to bash our exes and we weren’t allowed to give unsolicited advice.<br />
<br />
Along the four-day journey, Founder Amy Chan and a team of experts discussed the science behind what happens in the body when you go through a separation, how dopamine pushes you to want to, say, check your ex’s Instagram account multiple times a day after a breakup, look through old photos or find excuses to see or contact them. <br />
<br />
Chan also shared her own breakup story, which inspired the boot camp: Her ex-boyfriend cheated on her with one of her co-workers, and it took Chan more than two years to heal from their split.<br />

By keeping perfectly good food out of the dump, we could help solve Hunger and Climate Change.<br />
<br />
For this assignment, I followed Ms. Vang in Fresno. We visited 3 grocery stores and she was able to save over 800 pounds of food in one morning!<br />
All of the perfectly good food that included fruits, vegetables, steak, eggs, fish, and bread was going to be thrown away. I just couldn’t believe it.<br />
<br />
At one of the groceries we visited, the staff was pushing over a dozen boxes of rotten avocados to the trash bin. My heart sank, we came too late. <br />
<br />
Wasted food = wasted energy, money, man-hour, resources, transportation, water, etc. <br />
<br />
Because Ms. Vang doesn't have a facility to store the food she rescued, the food was quickly transferred to Centro La Familia, a neighborhood center, and they sorted and distributed the food to families that need them that same day. <br />
<br />
While doing research for this assignment, I came across these staggering statistics.  <br />
<br />
* 40% of food produced in the United States is wasted <br />
<br />
* 1 out of 5 children in the US doesn’t have enough to eat <br />
<br />
* $1 trillion worth of food is wasted annually<br />
<br />
* The average American family spends $1500 a year on wasted food <br />
<br />
* 1 billion pounds of food is wasted every year. <br />
<br />
* In the US over 90% of food scraps end up in Landfill<br />
<br />
* Food waste, when it rots in a landfill, produces methane gas, which quickly heats the planet.<br />
 <br />
* Methane is 23x more powerful than CO2 (formed when food scraps decompose without oxygen)<br />
<br />
* 60% of consumers throw away food prematurely because they don’t understand what the dates are telling them<br />
<br />
* Infant formula is the only food to have an expiration date regulated by the federal government <br />
<br />
* A Good Samaritan Act, anyone who wants to donate food can do so free of getting sued<br />

The retreat, which typically costs $3,495 to $3,995, included three nights of lodging in a cabin, three meals per day cooked by a private chef and a busy schedule of programming and activities. In addition to being drug and alcohol free, the boot camp was digital free.<br />

“Some people would think this was a waste of money, but it’s because we value material things,” Molina said. “We don’t value ourselves. We don’t value our mental health.”<br />
<br />
Prior to arrival, participants were told only that they’d be engaging in workshops with therapists, coaches, movement and yoga instructors and a dominatrix. However, there were two ground rules: We weren’t allowed to bash our exes and we weren’t allowed to give unsolicited advice.<br />
<br />
Along the four-day journey, Founder Amy Chan and a team of experts discussed the science behind what happens in the body when you go through a separation, how dopamine pushes you to want to, say, check your ex’s Instagram account multiple times a day after a breakup, look through old photos or find excuses to see or contact them. <br />
<br />
Chan also shared her own breakup story, which inspired the boot camp: Her ex-boyfriend cheated on her with one of her co-workers, and it took Chan more than two years to heal from their split.<br />

  • A portrait of the husband and wife team, Abhishek and Pooja Daryani, Founders of Bay area vaccine hunters. This platform is helping prevent COVID-19 Vaccines from going to waste. It has mobilized over 14,000 vaccine hunters to help connect those seeking a COVID-19 vaccine with health centers and pharmacies in the Bay Area with doses to spare. Moreover, this grassroots organization has supported community members in overcoming obstacles including language barriers, computer illiteracy, and work schedule constraints that prevent them from booking their appointments, and members of the group volunteer to refresh booking websites and make calls for other members who are unable to do so.<br />
