Americans Throw Away 40 Percent of Their Food Every Day
A new study says that the American food chain is so wasteful that roughly 40 percent of all our food goes uneaten, because we basically just throw it in the garbage.

CAUTION…This post contains a lot of info. All monumental… All life changing. All motivational… All in all.. it’s about LiNK… and this shit is golden (quote me).
That being said I am so proud of all content henceforth..
Most of you should know by now that I’ve put in a lot of time for the NPO known as LiNK (Liberty in North Korea). A group of committed individuals raising awareness on the current North Korea crisis who are ALSO providing emergency relief to NK refugees.
Today, LiNK is proud to announce that 101 Refugees have been rescued through their heroic efforts out of the underground. These refugees are currently basking in their much earned and deserved freedom. So much appreciation deserves to be sent your way… for multiple reasons. YOU have stood beside LiNK whether you know it or not. YOU have hosted the nomads. YOU decided to donate your time to sit through a presentation. YOU have stood up and responded through generous donations and valuable time. YOU have stomached the amount of content I have shared via Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube, email, blablabla. and most importantly YOU have shared the stories from myself, LiNK, the nomads, the chapters, and most importantly the stories from the restless refugees themselves.
click HERE for a video update from the 100+ victories YOU have helped to make.
In other news…
LiNK has released their 2011 annual report. It’s contents are enough to blow off Donalds Trumps wig. What a feat. To all my friends who are only empathetic based off numbers and not names.. Enjoy :) Both are as high as my stoke (quote me brah)
In other other news,
LiNK could still use your help. North Korea is still under it’s unqualified rule of the Kim family. LiNK has been notified that their recent campaign has been selected from a pool of 2,400 nominations as a Top Five Finalist for the 4th Annual Classy Awards. They could use your help in finishing this competition on top. It could go a long way for the North Korean people if they LiNK benefits from this competition. Please follow this LINK in order to help them receive these benefits. (I do recommend researching the other nominees, for their efforts are just as beautiful). Take your vote seriously. You have the power to change lives.
Lastly, LiNK is hiring. If you are interested in working alongside this beautiful organisation please check out the positions currently available at Linkglobal.org/jobs.
I appreciate your patience and your willingness to suffer through my horrible grammar skills and endless amount of LiNK information.
It means the world to me.

A dog’s last moments photographed
“Photographer Tou Chih-kang captures the last moment of shelter dogs before they are taken away by veterinarians to be put down. Tou has recorded the last moments of about 400 dogs, hoping the images will encourage responsibility among pet owners.”
