My topic of interest is food waste management.
At the federal level, EPA provides information, resources, and leads programs to combat food waste. The website is well done, by providing basic information (+infographic) to understand the issue, resources for what businesses, institutions, and other organizations can do, as well as what individuals can do to curve the huge food waste issue in the U.S.
At the state level, CalRecycle provides information and resources for food waste and management. This site also provides news on passing of state bills relates to waste management.
At the local level, SF Environment provides information and resources for food waste and food waste management. The city is aiming to become zero waste by 2020. Recently, the city expanded more items that can be recycled, such as clean plastic bags/packaging and the sort, as well as textiles and clothing. SFRecycles is another great local resource.
I've recently become more interested in the topic of food waste, especially after the material a few weeks ago. We waste SO much food in this country, but we still have so many hungry kids and families facing food insecurity. I hope we get this issue figured out soon.
