Wasting Food is Wasting of Water

  GRACE Communication Foundation recently released new tools to help consumers, students, researchers, and policymakers understand the water footprint of food. The two tools—a quiz and resource guide—offer information about the amount of water it takes to produce food, also known as a water footprint. The Water Footprint of Food Quiz, composed of seven questions, tests people’s understanding of the relationship between food and water. The Water Footprint of Food Guide classifies the water footprint of more than 100 food and beverage items. “Most people have a general sense that it takes water to produce the food that they eat every day,” Kai Olson Sawyer, Senior Research and Policy Analyst at GRACE, tells Food Tank, “but they don’t really have a concept of how much water it takes, and it really takes a huge amount of water. Whether it’s irrigation, rainfall, and even pollution, all these things come together to make up the water footprint of a single food item.” A food’s water foot...

Earthquake 08-10-2005

  The 2005 Kashmir earthquake occurred at 08:50:39 Pakistan Standard Time on 8 October in Pakistani-administered Azad Kashmir. It was centred near the city of Muzaffarabad, and also affected nearby Balakot in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and some areas of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. It registered a moment magnitude of 7.6 and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe). The earthquake also affected countries in the surrounding region where tremors were felt in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, India and China's Xinjiang region. The severity of the damage caused by the earthquake is attributed to severe upthrust. Kashmir lies in the area of collision of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates. The geological activity born out of this collision, also responsible for the birth of the Himalayan mountain range, is the cause of unstable seismicity in the region. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) measured its magnitude as a minimum of 7.6 on the moment magnitude scale, with its epi...

Animal Rights

  Animal rights means that animals deserve certain kinds of consideration—consideration of what is in their best interests, regardless of whether they are “cute,” useful to humans, or an endangered species and regardless of whether any human cares about them at all. Animal welfare: Animal welfare is important because there are so many animals around the world suffering from being used for entertainment, food, medicine, fashion, scientific advancement, and as exotic pets. Every animal deserves to have a good life where they enjoy the benefits of the Five Domains. Killingworth: It is estimated that each year 77 billion land animals are slaughtered for food. Animal rights teach us that certain things are wrong as a matter of principle, that there are some things that it is morally wrong to do to animals. Human beings must not do those things, no matter what the cost to humanity of not doing them. ... Accepting the doctrine of animal rights means: No experiments on animals. The ex...
