California Gov. Jerry Brown signed an amendment covering libel retraction and damages last month, creating the consistent treatment of print and online publications. Assembly Bill 998 replaces the term “newspaper” with “daily or weekly news publication.” This alteration extends libel protections to online daily or weekly publications which were not protected under the original legislation. Section 1 of AB 998 states “it is the intent of the Legislature to ensure that weekly and online publications are afforded the same protection under Section 48a of the Civil Code as is afforded to a daily newspaper to the extent that the weekly and online publications perform the same news-disseminating function as a daily newspaper.”

In today’s world cities and 2nd tier cities, most often our food and vegetables are transported or imported from areas that is outside the city’s boundary, and sometimes these products may have travel hundred to thousand of miles to reach the neighborhood grocery store. There are many problems arise from this unsustainable food consumption style, a few of them include the CO2 emission from transportation, chemicals use in the growing process, and the huge volume of fresh water going to waste to grow the food—that are 40% as likely to go to waste (Dana Gunders, Wasted: How America Is Losing Up to 40 Percent of Its Food from Farm to Fork to Landfill, 2012). According to Gunders, this act of dumping our uneaten food to the landfill attributes to, “$165 billion in loss annually, and a large portion of US’s methane emission.” This is a lose-lose situation, where not only are people in the US on average are losing money on uneaten food, but their unforeseen action is also driving up the level of one of the contributing gases that is causing global temperature to rise,
