time ago I launched a kind of question on good environmental practices.
I was struck by the fact that Dionysus and his Sugar extinguish the eight minutes before draining pasta.
E 'net savings, I thought. But how to quantify it?
During my experience in California have studied the possibility of measuring business processes in terms of resource consumption.
That the consumption of resources I think a major problem. Some data
We are more and more, we will be 9 billion in 2042 (source wikipedia).
In 2009, according to WWF we served 130% of the resources the planet can produce in one year.
also continuing in 2035 so we will need two planets to move forward.
"Avatar" is not so much a science fiction movie ... or not?
So it's important (to me at the price of human survival) to reduce the consumption of resources of the planet.
There is not only an energy problem, there is only
a problem of global warming,
there is a serious resource problem.
One of the jobs I'd like to do in the coming years is to help companies understand how to optimize resource consumption.
would be nice to First, to figure out what is the ecological footprint (in terms of consumption of natural resources, contribution to global warming) company in the production of a specific product.
This result could then be written on the label of the product, giving consumers the choice of the product, also based on this information.
Moreover, it would be useful to make the measurements mentioned throughout the life cycle of the product, taking into account raw materials such as the use of the ultimate consumer and also how to recycle what is left of the product.
would be nice to get to a result of this type.
Too bad about this, there is no shared standard, and then for the next few years will continue to play music on the Titanic living beyond our possibility ....
But something (small) moves.
Barilla published an interesting report on the consumption of a pound of pasta. As this report is public and available here, I want to bring some of the graphics of this report (hoping that no one take it ...).
First, a premise:
This Environmental Product Declaration has as its object the dried semolina pasta
wheat Barilla brand, manufactured in Italy and packaged in cardboard cartons
in 500 g.
Here we see how cooking has a high energy impact to the extent related to the production of pasta.
Then eight minutes less matter how.

evidenzadi This chart gives the firing is relevant in terms of potential measured in globalwarming.
Here's an idea of \u200b\u200bhow to understand the mark Environmental
Here what is the mark of a pound of pasta
In terms of water consumption, to produce a pound of pasta costs 695 liters.
Sounds too?
know how much water does it take for a steak?
short, the document seems to me very interesting.
certainly will take into account the next time I go to the supermarket.
