A recent article on Earth911 asks, "What if we had to pay for the food we waste?"
Wow. What an idea? The article says that 40% of food in the United States and United Kingdom is wasted! That's 4 of every ten peas, beans, pounds of meat.
Korea has about the same rate of waste as the U.S. and the UK, but, as a country, they take recycling very seriously and have strict guidelines and systems in place for most wastes. Now they are tackling food waste.
In 2013, Korea is changing the way it disposes of food wastes. The country will no longer process it and dump the gray water into the sea. The concern is the impact on foods that come from the sea such as the seaweed. The article didn't say how the process will change.
Their goal is to reduce food waste by a minimum of 20% and they hope that charging people for that waste will do the trick.
Using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, consumers will have to dispose of food waste in a special bin, paying for it to the nearest gram. The cost will be automatically debited from the users transportation or credit card.
Just like we don't want to waste food, wasting energy is a costly proposition, too. Take for example the conditioned air that is left in the ducts when the HVAC systems turns off. Whether it is heated by the furnace of cooled by the air conditioner, the energy used to condition it is wasted when it sits in the ducts just returning to the ambient temperature of the area surrounding the ducts - usually the attic or crawlspace.
The AirFlow Breeze register vent booster fan was created and designed to draw every bit of that conditioned air out of the ducts - allowing you to not waste the energy spent to condition it - or the money it costs to do so!
