    No, ive never heard of it before. It seems like a good idea and it might encourage farmers to plant more trees if it becomes more generally recognized.

    What concerns you the most about how we are affecting the planet? Consider both local and global actions.

    We are steadily destroying the planet and not enough people really care about it primarily because large change would come with massive economic adjustments and changing pressing global issues doesn't pay.

    How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?

    I always thought the dates were put onto the packaging of foods to display the date they should be used before inflicting harm. Now that i know the difference i think ill be able to push it a bit more leading to less food waste.
