Food Waste: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver <--- *** Note
www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8xwLWb0lLY
** Note: John Oliver's political commentary and biting satire is very, very good but quite mature and often includes language some will deem inappropriate for the classroom. Please look at this, and even consider downloading/editing the video before showing it- because it is a FANTASTIC commentary on American food wastage aside from a moment or two.
SOLUTIONS
