After more than a decade of work, the blueprints for a network of marine protected areas covering 30,000 square kilometers off of Vancouver Island have been announced. First Nation leaders in Canada have established two new marine protected areas around Vancouver Island in order to protect biodiversity. "This is an important step towards meeting our goal of protecting 30 percent of the ocean by 2030," continued the minister.
Each year, millions of pounds of the nation’s fresh food go to waste. On January 5 2023 Biden signed the Food Donation Improvement Act into law which will expand food donation efforts and ultimately reduce food waste. Stay Positive!
