** I Was, I Am, I Will ** ** By: Berkeley Chiu, period B1 ** Yesterday… I was unhappy when I didn’t get what I wanted, But I was joyful when I got a good grade on a test. I was nervous about going to school, However I was confident making friends. I did not believe in Santa Claus, But I did believe in monsters. I lost at running, Yet won at hide n seek. Today… I am miserable when someone fails, But I am happy when someone is still strong. I am nervous about going on stage, But I am confident talking to people in public. I do not believe in ghosts, But I do believe in God I lose at rock paper scissors, But I win at video games. ** Tomorrow… ** ** I w **** ill be miserable when I break my computer, ** ** But I won’t be depressed when something is wrecked. **   ** I will be anxious going to work, ** ** But I will be confident going on a plane by myself. **   ** I won’t believe in evil spirits, ** ** But I will believe in Santa Claus. **   ** I will lose at working on time, ** ** But I will win at receiving As on tests. **

Food Waste (worldwide)

People all around the world throw away food and there are lotsof ways we waste food. A lot of people waste billions of dollars on food and then leaving it in the fridge, not eating it. However, there are ways food waste can be stopped.

Nowadays food is being wasted in many different ways all over the world. In America, 14% of groceries end up in the trash. Nationwide, people waste 4.7 billion dollars a year. Another way people waste food is when people leave half eaten food left out not sealed. Fishermen discard 40% to 60% of all fish caught because they are the wrong size or species.

Food is being wasted all around the world. In Canada, $27 billion worth of food is thrown into the trash. 40% to 50% of harvested food is being wasted around the world. In the USA the food that people waste can fill half of the amount of water that used to produce the food. One third of the food that the world produced is either lost or wasted.

There are lots of ways that food waste can be solved. A way not to waste food is to sign up for Food Waste Collection Service and somebody will pick it up (this is only in the USA). Another way is to compost your food. Composting is left over food that is put into a container filled will soil, then the food and the soil will be fired up so that the food will break down with the soil, after it is burnt, the soil is good for planting trees and plants. SAS is now throwing out a quart or so of scrap, banana peels, and coffee ground for composting.

Food being left in the fridge should be eaten, billions of dollars can let the poor buy enough food! Don’t buy to much food and throw out 14% of harvested food into the trash! Try to compost food or even sign up for the Food Collection Service.
