Discussions Discussion Food & hunger
Eleonora Bianchi, May 16, 2013

hello! My name is Eleanora, i’ve 17 years old and I live in the north of Italy. World hunger is a serious problem, many people in the past have moved to solve it but the success rate was very low because people do not have the food to be able to survive are many. The difference between one and the other part of the world is really great because in underdeveloped countries or continents, the percentage of daily food is very low while in developed countries such as Europe and the food is really this cause, in some cases, even the problem of excess food, thus obesity.

The problem of food is very common in underdeveloped countries with small but especially in developed countries the problem is the amount of food that is thrown away, but also the quality of food is important. In my country, the quality of food is great because everyone grows fruit and vegetables without treatment. I grow fruit and vegetables without treatments and genuine mainly because the products are not imported and do not make me thousands of kilometers.For the quality of food is important at times we are not aware of eating and shoddy products by paying a high price.

    Hi Alex. I have seen a lot of post from people north of Italy that use more energy than most Italians do. The winters must be very cold where you live if you need to use so much heat, but it seems that your transportation and purchases are in a good range.

Hi my name is elisabetta and I’m from Italy. I am attending a school for building technicians, I’ll be a surveyor and I’m interested in sustainable architecture. With this kind of building you can save environment and costs
I think it is going to be the future in the building’s field. I would like to know what do you think about this topic.

    Hi Sam. I'm Mattia and I live in Italy. I think that your total transportation is high. To reduce it I suggest you to use the bike for example or divide the machine with some other person so as to reduce pollution.
  • Sam f Sam f May 16, 2013
    This is a great suggestion but if I were to bike to school I would have to wake up 5:00am in the morning, and class starts at 8:10am. Although I do bike and skateboard on the weekends, but thank you for the suggestion.

adrien pouchele, May 15, 2013

Hi my name is Adrien Pouchele and my total Carbon Footprint was 19750kg. For transportation I got 6870kg, for Home I got 8610kg, for food I got 3455kg, and finally for purchases I got 815kg. I was surprised that my total was under the average for France. The thing that I was most surprised at though was my purchases. I thought that I buy a lot but I guess not! My average purchase compared to other in my region were no where near the same! I think that one way I could lower my transportation is if I walked or biked to some of the places I go to since they aren’t far at all

    Hello Adrien think you should try to think more in your purchases because in my opinion and for me most of the things I buy are unnecessary.

    Change your food habits. Being a vegetarian is a good start. Also, try to save energy in your home by using energy bulbs, solar panels.

    Hello Raphael! I think your total carbon footprint is very high you should look for alternatives to reduce CO2 emissions.

Davide A, May 15, 2013

Hi, I’m Davide, I live in Italy. My carbon footprint about transportation is very high because in my town there aren’t a lot of public transportation; there aren’t many buses, there aren’t underground stations and there is just one train. I live in the mountain and I use heating six months a year. People in my town use to recycle. I use electric energy and natural gas in my house, I haven’t got any solar panels. All cars work by petrol fuel and they pollute a lot! The mountain is cleanest than city! Have you got any suggestions to decrease my carbon footprint?

    to lower the consumption of energy for transport to walk or cycle for short trips is a very useful thing.
