  • How to Save a Forest by Burning It<br />
<br />
Prescribed burns, an age-old practice that rids forests of the small trees, brush and other matter than can fuel wildfires, are getting a 21st-century upgrade.<br />
<br />
With climate change parching the land and increasing wildfire hazards, scientists are beginning to use cutting-edge technology and computer modeling to make controlled, low-intensity burns safer, more effective and less disruptive to nearby communities.<br />
<br />
“Fire has made us civilized, but we still don’t understand it fully,” said Tirtha Banerjee of the University of California, Irvine, as he watched a tall heap of dead tree limbs go up in flames.<br />
<br />
<br />
As useful as prescribed burns can be for maintaining forests, they are tough to carry out — costly, labor-intensive, contingent on narrowing windows of favorable weather.<br />
<br />
Scientists think we can do better. Several teams recently converged at Blodgett Forest Research Station northeast of Sacramento, an area thick with towering Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir and incense cedar. A planned burn at Blodgett was a precious opportunity to collect data in the field, and the researchers packed carloads of gear including GoPro cameras, drone-mounted sensors for mapping the terrain in minute detail, a sonic anemometer for measuring wind and an assortment of machines that collected airborne particles.<br />
<br />
Global warming has brought more of the extremely hot and dry conditions that can turn wildfires into deadly catastrophes. Blazes as ferocious as last year’s Dixie Fire, which burned through nearly a million acres of Northern California, weren’t part of the picture for scientists half a century ago, when the Forest Service and other agencies first developed their mathematical models for predicting how wildfires spread.

<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 />
<br />

  • How to Save a Forest by Burning It<br />
<br />
Prescribed burns, an age-old practice that rids forests of the small trees, brush and other matter than can fuel wildfires, are getting a 21st-century upgrade.<br />
<br />
With climate change parching the land and increasing wildfire hazards, scientists are beginning to use cutting-edge technology and computer modeling to make controlled, low-intensity burns safer, more effective and less disruptive to nearby communities.<br />
<br />
“Fire has made us civilized, but we still don’t understand it fully,” said Tirtha Banerjee of the University of California, Irvine, as he watched a tall heap of dead tree limbs go up in flames.<br />
<br />
<br />
As useful as prescribed burns can be for maintaining forests, they are tough to carry out — costly, labor-intensive, contingent on narrowing windows of favorable weather.<br />
<br />
Scientists think we can do better. Several teams recently converged at Blodgett Forest Research Station northeast of Sacramento, an area thick with towering Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir and incense cedar. A planned burn at Blodgett was a precious opportunity to collect data in the field, and the researchers packed carloads of gear including GoPro cameras, drone-mounted sensors for mapping the terrain in minute detail, a sonic anemometer for measuring wind and an assortment of machines that collected airborne particles.<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 />
<br />

  • Stu Smith, owner of Smith-Madrone Winery in St. Helena poses for a portrait on April 5, 2022. Stu supports the development of the Walt Ranch because he believes that they are following the rules and regulations. A fight over plans to plant a vineyard in the mountains above Napa Valley is coming to a head, with the county set to cast a pivotal vote on a project that has been at the center of a battle over where grapes should be grown in the nation's premier wine-growing region. A Texas billionaire couple proposed the Walt Ranch vineyard a decade ago, but have been blocked by lawsuits and procedural appeals by opponents citing everything from impact on limited water resources to despoiling a pristine landscape. The latest issue centers on an argument that the vineyard would hurt efforts to combat climate change by removing 14,000 trees. Andri Tambunan for The Wall Street Journal.
