Abstract
For our collaborative Research Project my group (Lisa D & Idalis W.) decided to research the amount of food that Americans waste each year. We realized that Americans really do waste a lot but wanted to look deeper into just how much food was wasted.. We took the topic even further into researching ways in which we, as Americans, could possibly save some of the food waste. One of the ways we researched to limit food waste was freeganism. This was a way of life that all three of us took a lot of interest in and wanted to know more about. We wanted to know if this was a legit way of saving food or if it was over the top and ridiculous! We also researched some of the simpler ways of limiting waste such as proper storage. We looked a little deeper into the real facts about "Expiration dates" on foods. As a group we also interviewed some average Americans to see how they felt about wasted food. We agreed that the best way to present all of this research and information would be through multimodal such as a Weebly. We wanted to be able to show our research in more ways then just words and articles. This allowed us to have charts, pictures, words, and videos to express our thoughts and findings.
