Coffee pods are also known as K cups used in the new popular automatic coffee machine called the Keurig. The Keurig requires a certain cup that the coffee is stored in and is placed inside of the machine in replacement of the coffee filter that other machines use. The Keurig has taken control and is set to sell millions within the next couple years. However these new cups are not biodegradable and are hazardous to the world. The cups are not recyclable and end up in landfills. The k cups tale 150 to 500 years to disintegrate. Personally I used to use the K cups in my coffee machine but since reading this article I've found a washable K cup that i can pour coffee in and reuse multiple times. This eliminates the idea of filling up landfills and is even more reliable and safe then using the coffee in the k cups.

The bananas that we were once used to went extinct because of the panama disease infecting them. This disease spread and spread quickly worrying the farmers all over the world. Luckily the inferior product Cavendish Cultivar was immune to the disease gaining the interest of all of the worried farmers. This new product became the new bananas that everyone is used to even today. This product tastes the same no matter where it's at and has no diversity within it. Unfortunately this non diversity became a problem when a new strain of disease came along infecting the bananas for a second time. They are trying to find a way to control it but farmers are getting scared that the extinction will happen again and are hurriedly looking for a new product to use just in case. Personally I think this is a problem that needs to be solved quickly. If bananas are being changed to a taste a new way it would be easier to ease in slowly than suddenly. Bananas are many people's favorite fruit and need to be saved for their sake whether it's a new product or just a contained disease. |
