Definitely bigger than ohio. Connell a conversation we started to have with swing states trending in trumps direction, might have more room to go. The recent polling we have seen that donald trump, will he win this waste . He has a better chance than he did two weeks ago and back to this map and play with numbers on it, the magic number needed to win after we look at ohio, we talk about the bloomberg poll showing trump up by 5 points, great number for him but back to 22 august, 5 point lead, this is the real politics average of all the polls, Hillary Clinton, blue line, 45, trump redline, 40, then we move through and things stay steady until you get to Early September and Hillary Clinton, the blue line moves support making the race closer in and of itself and over the last week which we to donald trump starts to gain some voters in the swing state of ohio which he needs to win, next thing you know in the average of the polls we have a dead even race. Another state donald trump needs to
And in a speech be he delivered on the 10th of december this year, so a couple of days a he said there is no excuse for 750 billion u. S. Dollars in food waste per year. When we only need 80 billion u. S. Dollars to feed the hungry. And this comes from a businessman, one of the biggest businessmen there is. So he is really sincere. Im very convinced he is. Nevertheless, roughly i onethird of our food is waste, and i think others you will have better figures of that, but lets say in kilograms or pounds or whatever measurements, but onethird lets keep it at onethird. And it gets lost or it gets wasted. This washington causes emissions to the environment, pesticides, fertilizers, methane, and that is 23 times more potent greenhouse effect than co2. Than the food leads to loss of amounts of labor income, water, you know, agriculture uses loads of water. Its the first user of waters which, fresh water we have lack of in the world as well. Fertile soils get lost. In developing countries, of
Environmental concern, the financial concern, which is a lot of individuals in oakland. It is this in the feeling of sadness when you see wasted food. There is something within us that we cannot name, and it is difficult to talk about. That is something we are trying to tap him as well. We have different angles. Thealk about how 25 of freshwater used in Food Production goes to food we never eat. We talk about how one in six people in Alameda County do not know where the next meal is going to come from. The majority are children or Senior Citizens. We talk about the financial implications that up to 2200 a year for the average consumer and what they are spending on food they never eat. We do a lot of different levels. I think the Biggest Issue is it is coalition building, working together. We need macro and micro change. In the trenches, we need more food recovery programs. We need people working on gleaming programs. We need to figure out different ways that in everyday practice we get
To go about this repair technique what i mean by that is after you take all of the paint and primer off the dome, the cast iron of this generation flash rusts in eight hours. The timeliness of the application is important. We have to have those processes down very well so that we dont have to double do work. What about the scaffolding gives you mild concerns . The fact that it is a massive scaffolding project, i think getting that scaffolding here, lifting it up to the roof of the dome, and then getting it installed and taken back down is just a massive logistical effort. That is probably one of the biggest risks on the job. When they did the reflecting pool in the mall, they used fairly exotic technology to keep the algae out and later we saw algae forming. Is there any exotic techniques that you will try here that are not tested . Know, there are no exotic techniques were using. We tested many, many repair techniques over the course of nearly 10 years to help advise us and test a wid
Technology which basically speeds up the natural composting process to a 21 and a batch cycle, so after about 48 hours, it begins producing methane gas and all of the bye gases. And after 21 days, all you have left is an agricultural quality compost, and all of that gas that is collected is transformed into either electricity or cng fuel, so it is a completely closed loop cycle that we have, and we just celebrated the grand opening of our project in san jose, which is 1. 6 megawatts of electricity, about 34,000 tons per year of compost, if i remember correctly, and it is processing 90,000 tons per year of organic waste, so that is just one of our projects, and that is what we do. I want to point out that that is the largest facility of its kind in the world. Yes, it is the largest in the world. The energy that it produces is eligible for inclusion in the renewables portfolio. That is a goal set out by the government of california. Utilities have to use one third of their energy by rene
