POPSSupermarkets Throwing Away 2 Million Tons Of Food A Year We visited a dozen stores over several nights last week to check what was being thrown away and discovered hundreds of pounds worth of food dumped. At a Sainsbury’s superstore next to the Dome in Greenwich, South East London – the chain’s flagship “environmentally-friendly” shop with its own wind turbines – staff said it was standard practice to throw away food before its sell-by date. And they’re not even allowed to take it home. One said: “Someone just stands there and throws it into the skip. We wish we could buy it – but we’re not allowed.” Pointing to meat on the “reduced” shelf, he added: “Come midnight, anything that hasn’t been sold will get taken off the shelf... if it’s out of date it will be logged on the computer, put against our losses, then in the skip.” Four-pint bottles of milk with nine days still to run had been thrown out, along with nine cans of cola with a date stamp of April 2009.

POPSImposing morality and ethics is 'imperialism': whaling conference
Some of you think the same thing can go to the climate change regime, but actually it isn't. There are two points at least different from climate change regime; 1) the epistemic community doesn't work enough to give sufficient information which have both governments and NGOs like greenpeace and IFAW (Preservationists) and WWF (Conservationists) know about facts. Without sharing scientific knowledge, the issue cannot be addressed with effectiveness. 2) there are only a few countries like Japan, Norway, UK, US and so on that have connexions in terms of interests by either using the resource or not, and many of the states (ones doesn't have coastline) doesn't have the connexions with them. This means that a few actors play a part in either leading the regime or preventing it. The others doesn't make decision spontaneously. Mainly there decision is influenced from the public opinion or the political power outside of the country.
