The solution for food waste is phenomenal. However, what I learned from this article is that it takes time to finalize and develop a sustainable solution. Vigliotti was not suddenly growing from “hauler of waste to a producer of fine fertilizers”. He was keeping solving problems, for example, it needs types of equipment that is big enough to process these disposals. Also, he needs to solve the problem of disturbing smell. There are lots of preparation to do before he starts his business. His intention was respectful also smart. This is a win-win situation as these disposals got regenerated to good use, also he gains a large amount of profit. Also, he even got support from the government which makes his work easier and grow faster and bigger. His production is always in short supply which is energy. This production is the source of everything: from economy to manufacture and to our daily lives. Vigliotti success changes my idea of sustainability. I always think that all the industries that are combined with “sustainable” are expensive and it is difficult to gain profits. More importantly, many businesses which many businesses called themselves sustainable industry, in fact, they scorpions to deceive money from consumers and the government. In Vigliotti case, it is totally different. Since we all waste food somehow, what he did makes us participate in sustainable activities. The whole process is sustainable. We as the waste contributor, fertilizers consumers, or energy users are all taking part in this process. This activity itself for me is an advertisement. We will cultivate the conscious to be more sustainable from this process and the benefits to our earth are incalculable. At the same time, his business has a promising future since there are food wastes everywhere and they are generated every day. However, I have to question if there are better solutions to food waste. If food waste can be a treasure and reusable, what he did was monopolize the source of a resource. We stop thinking if there is a better solution for this problem and Vigliotti has no competitors in this industry.
