We all know wasp are related to the bee and are similar to that one aggressive cousin we all have, but have to deal with, however, with temperatures rising due to climate change it is predicted that in this upcoming year we will have more wasp than ever before.

With Halloween just around the corner candy is on everyone's mind, however, how great would it be to be able to eat the plastic containing the treat? With plastic waste being such a elephantine issue in the world it has formed its own island, Chemists' at USDA have been working on an alternate solution to holding items than plastic bags. . The surprising solution to it is...MILK! It has been discovered that protein casein found within milk. Now it had also been found that it was delicate to human touch, however, when citrus casein is added it has been proven to be durable, flexible, and even eatable. Other than to protect food it has also been used by cereal companies to prevent the cereal from becoming soggy when inside milk. As well as making sure our cereals are fresh scientist have been able to figure out how to make the protein casein to have a plethora of flavors and the best part is, it will soon be made vegan! The launch of an eatable plastic should be important to everyone and well known to the common individual because with the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" growing more and more the eatable plastic movement could lead to a more green and clean world. http://www.care2.com/causes/meet-a-surprising-plastic-alternative-milk.html People do not have to go vegetarian to better the plant, but reducing the amount of meat people consume can definitely help. Even though the meat industry has tried to make the argument that consumers NEED the protein within beef, chicken, and pork, they seem to fail in realizing the animals get the protein from plants themselves. When compared most vegetables and fruit contain the same amount, sometimes even more (tofu), in protein. Now it is not believed that going vegetarian or vegan will defeat climate change, however, reducing the amount of meat consumed can possibly do so. The process in which it takes to grow and "care for" cattle until their date of slaughter takes many resources and has ultimately lead to deforestation of areas and an increase in the carbon within our atmosphere. Rather than consuming steer the more wise decision would be to enjoy a pleasant plate of chicken or even a delightful dish of pork. Less resources are being used to feed and keep these animals in stock and these animals do not produce nearly as much carbon as cows. There are a plethora of options to help in fixing this salient global issue: even though it typically is more expensive shoppers should choose local and organic options, if they are vegetarian or not is up to the consumer to decide, however, for me, it is vegetarian. I personally find this issue particular relevant because it ultimately plays a huge role in climate change, so attempting to cut the amount of meat consumed by Americans should be considered. As a vegetarian who is completely healthy I stand here to say that people should consider attempted vegetarianism for a week and see how it goes and how they feel. Even though the destruction of the plant will happen way after our time here we should fight in preventing it from ever happen to better our future children and grandchildren from the deathly events to come. I hope people consider all I have stated and realize that even though it is not their life it is precious. www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/vegetarian-or-omnivore-the-environmental-implications-of-diet/2014/03/10/648fdbe8-a495-11e3-a5fa-55f0c77bf39c_story.html |
