A ridiculously simple guide to compost your food waste at home

Do you know that food is a major part of the waste material thrown out every day?

Rotten or surplus food that is of no use is usually thrown out and goes into trash. The amount of food that is thrown out every day is enormous.  

Every year, almost one third of the total food produced in the world for human use is wasted (approximately 1.3 billion tonnes).

It is estimated that a usual household throws away about 474 pounds of food waste each year. In Canada and US 40% of food supply is wasted per annum. In New Zealand, 122,547 tonnes of food is thrown out per year.

Global quantitative food losses and waste per year are roughly 30 per cent for cereals, 40-50 per cent for root crops, fruits and vegetables, 20 per cent for oil seeds, meat and dairy plus 35 per cent for fish.

Top 5 easy eco jobs for Asian women

You may object to the term Asian women and say why not all women of the world. 

By Asian women, I mean a segment of the population with relatively fewer career opportunities. It is because of the bad norms of  Asian society. It is another debate why women of Asia have fewer chances to grow their careers. 

The purpose of this post is to let them know another area where they can easily enter and prove their professional power. Yes, this is about eco jobs for Asian women.  

In European countries and the USA, there is lesser gender bias with regard to work. A person regardless of her gender can do any job over there. That is why in advanced countries women can easily become environmental technicians, green site surveyors, green building administrators, and HSE managers of remote oil fields without any hurdle. 

I mentioned these jobs as an example because these are relatively tough eco jobs. In relatively easy eco jobs women are in quite a big number. We can say there is no specific area of eco jobs best suited to them. The whole environmental sector in developed regions is for them just like other sectors.

Do you know how silently indoor pollution kills households?

More than half of the population of Asia relies on burning of biomass fuel including wood, crop refuse, animal dung and heavy garbage to cook their food.

As a result smoke emits while they cook and it has many harmful gases including carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide that affect the respiratory system of households.

According to World Health Organisation nearly 2 million people die of this form of pollution every year and more than half of them are from poor regions of Asia and Africa.

Women are worst hit of indoor pollution

Womenfolk are the most vulnerable to this form of pollution because mostly they cook food. They have to be near to the fireplace for hours that keep emitting smokes.

Secondly little girls are equally most vulnerable to it. In conservative societies of poor regions they are not allowed to go out from home without any reason. As a result most of the diseases related to indoor pollution are reported in women and girls in Asia and Africa.
