Fun Fact: In 2014, California became the first state to enact legislation imposing a statewide ban on single-use plastic bags at large retail stores. Other states such as Hawaii and New York followed suit, mandating plastic bag bans on grocery stores and other retailers in 2015 and 2019!

Fun Fact: A congressional report in late 2021 described the US as the leading country for plastic waste generation. The analysis found that the country produces more plastic waste than any other nation, equivalent to about 42 million metric tons every year, which amounts to 287 pounds per person! 🚯♻️

Fun Fact: As the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) reports, about 6-8% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced if we stopped wasting food. In the US alone, the production of lost or wasted food generates the equivalent of 37 million cars’ worth of greenhouse gas emissions!

Fun Fact: Ageing infrastructure and deteriorating water delivery systems including pipes and mains cost the US an estimated 2.1 trillion gallons of lost drinkable water each year. Adopting widespread energy-efficient technologies and appliances could significantly reduce water wastage. 🫗

Fun Fact: According to a survey conducted by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), approximately half of the country’s rivers and streams – amounting to more than 700,000 miles of waterways – and more than one-third of its lakes are polluted and unfit for swimming, fishing, and drinking.

Fun Fact: With the advancement of hydrogen fuel cell technology, HFCs produce no harmful emissions, eliminating costs associated with handling and storing toxic materials like battery acid or diesel fuel. Further, Hydrogen can store renewable electricity during times of peak or excess generation!

Fun Fact: In 2023, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that “human activities, principally through emissions of greenhouse gases, have unequivocally caused global warming, with global surface temperature reaching 1.1°C above 1850-1900 in 2011-2020.

Fun Fact: Around 30-40% of food is wasted in the U.S., while the average American wastes 50% more food than in 1970. Utilizing smaller portion sizes or composting is a great way to combat these issues!🍽️🥣

Fun Fact: Using a lid on your pan while cooking can save your energy use while cooking up to 90%!  🍳🥘

Fun Fact: The 6 R's of sustainability are as follows: reduce, reuse, recycle, rethink, refuse, and repair!

Fun Fact: Sustainability isn't just about recycling or saving energy, in fact, the 3 main pillars of sustainability are: people, planet, and profit. Typically, you cannot have one without the other. We encourage you to learn more about the intersectionality of sustainability and social justice!

Fun Fact: Southern Oregon University - a neighbor of the Ashland Food Co-Op - is currently on track to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and become net zero by 2040. The school currently has 10 major commitments, one being the installation of solar to uphold 100% renewable energy standards!🌞

Fun Fact: Companies have the ability to acquire what is called a B Corp Certification - a designation for for-profit companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Look for this logo on items next time you shop!

Fun Fact: Current commitments by government and industry will reduce the amount of plastic flowing into the ocean only by 7% by 2040. However, we have the power to change this. Living more sustainably and urging others to do the same will help much more than you may think!

Fun Fact: More than 50% of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP) relies on nature, highlighting its economic vulnerability to biodiversity loss. The increased economic valuation of our ecosystems could lead to a greater societal understanding of just how much conservation matters!

Fun Fact: Annual global greenhouse gas emissions have increased by 50% over the past 30 years due to increased fossil fuel combustion. Remember, your money is your power, supporting independent and slow living companies can save the world!

In this house, we respect the hot bar.  #ashlandfoodcoop #supportlocal #soup #hotbar

Fun Fact: Fast fashion items are often worn less than five times, kept for roughly 35 days, and produce over 400% more carbon emissions per item per year than garments worn 50 times and kept for a full year. Unlearning increased shopping habits is the first step to a more sustainable life!

Fun Fact: The hole in the Earth's ozone layer, which was a source of global concern during the 1980s, is on track to repair itself following the banning of CFCs and other ozone-depleting gases under the Montreal Protocol. It is expected to fully heal between 2040 and 2070!

Some things just make sense... like becoming a co-op owner! #ashlandfoodcoop #supportlocal #roco #coffeeshop

Fun Fact: The Netherlands, France, Italy, and Germany are the countries that are leading the way toward adopting a circular economy. Which is an economic system focused on minimizing waste and maximizing the use of resources by keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible. 🌐
