Tackling plastic pollution is the theme of 2018. Stories of animals dying from ingesting plastic are all around the web. Did you ever think that the plastic packaging used for your groceries might be the cause of death for an animal species you love?

Join Seal Rescue Ireland in an interactive Facebook live experience to hear all about the adorable and often times sick seals with gnarly scars from plastic netting. Meet the seals, hear the splashes made when eagerly gobbling up the fish and grab a box of tissues because not only do many rescues end in tragedy, but many are never able to be reached.

[facebook https://www.facebook.com/EcoWatch/videos/2013812955298298/ expand=1]

As reported by Seal Rescue Ireland Educational Outreach Manager Jeshua Taucher:

In 2007, NOAA estimated that annually, 100,000 marine mammals and millions of seabirds and fish silently perish from untreated entanglement in waste produced by our throw-away society.

Karma is one seal that was able to be rescued, but unable to be saved. Appearing healthy aside from abnormal behavior, she was taken in and died in the center. A necropsy revealed a plastic chip bag was lodged in her stomach.

Marine animals are not just accidentally gobbling up our plastic trash. Research suggests that they could be actively seeking it out because they like how the debris smells-which quickly gets covered by algae-and are confusing it for their natural prey.

Not only is the plastic disguised as food, but the reflective elements of plastic are mistaken for fish scales, according to Seal Rescue Ireland.

Take some time out of your day and watch this.

"I've been contacted by hundreds of people over the last few weeks. People in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s even, who are stuck in housing they can't afford. They feel hopeless. I've been shocked at how people feel ashamed about their housing situation. They feel like it's somehow their fault. I think it's really important that the message goes out there, that people are in these situations, they cannot afford a home not because of something that's their own fault. It's because of Government policy. It is absolutely because of Government policy."

The above is a quote from Dr Rory Hearne, a Lecturer in Social Policy in the Department of Applied Social Studies in Maynooth University, who wants the public to understand how exactly Ireland's housing crisis came about and what can be done to fix it.

Dr Hearne has been a leading voice in highlighting Ireland's housing issues for a number of years and his book, Housing Shock, is a must-read for anyone who wants to educate themselves on the topic.

Housing was one of the defining issues of the last general election and although the current Covid-19 pandemic has grabbed the headlines in recent months, the public eye is once again turning towards the problem that successive governments have failed to solve.

In fact, according to Dr Hearne, they have actually encouraged and incentivised the practice of vulture funds buying up housing. Vulture funds who "want you renting property for your life at their rents so that they have permanent wealth creation off your back".

Dr Hearne spoke to JOE this week to break down in simple terms how Ireland's housing situation has deteriorated over the last decade or more, what lies ahead if we continue on the same path and how the Government has all the tools to fix it.

Watch the full video below.

In an effort to tackle issues of climate change and food insecurity California became the first state in the United States to officially introduce mandatory food waste recycling and salvaging of edible food waste.

At the start of 2022, the law known as Senate Bill 1383 went into effect mandating food waste be separated from both residential and c ommercial waste while also salvaging edible food.

"SB 1383 is the biggest change to our trash since we started recycling in the 1980s," says Rachel Machi Wagoner, the director of Cal Recycle, the state's recycling authority.

An estimated 5.5 million tons of food waste is sent to California landfills each year and it's is one of the largest sources of methane gas emissions in the state.

Story continues below advertisement

"When organic waste goes to a landfill it actually breaks down in methane which is a potent greenhouse gas," said Ned Spang from the Food Loss and Waste Collaborative at the University of California Davis.

The new law aims to reduce food waste sent to landfills by as much as 75 per cent by 2025.

"When we reach our 75 per cent goal of diverting organic waste from landfills, it is the equivalent of taking more than a million cars off the road for over a year," said Machi Wagoner.

Vermont has already rolled out similar laws mandating composting of food waste there, but this law goes further than just reducing food waste and greenhouse gas emissions caused by discarded organic material. It also mandates a reduction in the amount of edible waste by 20 per cent and it's the first state to do this.

Many restaurants and grocery stores routinely throw out produce and other food that is still edible. The initiative means that anything which is still edible will now go to those experiencing food insecurity in the state via charities committed to helping those in need.

"From restaurants from retailers such as grocery stores, anytime they have food they may have thrown out before we want to first do a look at it and see if we can recover some of that food for edible consumption," said Spang.

Quebec government gives $3M to help food banks deal with storage and food waste

Almost two months have passed since the new law came into effect and residents of California are getting used to the shift. Cal Recycle's director says she knows that this will take time to be adopted, and says they are committed to helping Californians jump on board with the new law. In time, fines can and will be levied for non-compliance but as residents familiarize themselves with the law, it's all about grants to start the programs needed and education.

"We are giving grants to local governments - everything from the start-up of the collection program to educational campaigns," said Machi Wagoner.

Small business owners like Ivan Franks who owns a small takeout restaurant called The Hotdogger in Davis, Calif., are on board with the new law but say they need more time and education.

Story continues below advertisement

"We have many issues with COVID shutting down. (Food recycling) seems to be one of the least concerning things that I have on my plate but if they can ... teach us how to do it, great," said Franks.

Other residents in California are happy to see a law targeting food waste come into effect.

"I can definitely say this is the one thing that makes me very happy to be from California," said Joy Klineberg, a mom of five living in Davis who has been composting for years on her own and sees the benefits.

"Half of its going into the landfill and half of its being turned into compost and being reused so that to me is a huge difference," said Klineberg.

Say goodbye to smelly compost: Easy ways to make your kitchen eco-friendly

States like New Jersey and New York have rolled out composting programs in the past but without strong mandates, patchwork rollouts and no recourse for non-compliance those programs have faltered. Seven years after New York City introduced its curbside organic waste pickup, only an estimated 10 per cent of residents were actually using the service according to the city.

Story continues below advertisement

As the most populous state in the country with more than 39 million residents, California will now serve as an example to other states looking to mandate and enforce food waste reduction in their states going forward.
