Ein amerikanisches Startup will “intelligente” Tupperdosen auf den Markt bringen, die uns anzeigen, wann ein Produkt kurz vor knapp vor dem Vergammeln ist und somit die Verschwendung von Lebensmitteln eindämmen. Sie sagen, dass die Leute kein Essen vergeuden wollen, manchmal vergisst man es einfach (und ja, das ist mir auch schon mal passiert).

Grundsätzlich ist das ja ein positives Unterfangen, aber entlässt es uns nicht noch mehr aus der Eigenverantwortung und dem gesunden Menschenverstand?

Ich kann auch nicht ganz glauben, dass die Amerikaner 40% ihrer Nahrungsmittel vergeuden, die Zahl steht da in dem Artikel so im Raum, aber wenn dann findet diese Verschwendung doch nicht in den Haushalten statt, sondern im großen Stil in der Industrie und den Supermärkten. Da helfen dann auch solche smarten Token nichts.

The Ovie Smarterware Tupperware knows when food is about to go bad

Ovie’s Smarterware is this generation’s Tupperware

Most of us have grown up having heard of Tupperware parties, or even followed our moms to such events when we were younger. Tupperware products are great; as they are made out of high quality plastic while boasting of airtight capability that will keep your food stashed inside nice and fresh most of the time.

As you educate yourself about your own talent and ambitions, you graduate from doing a task right to doing the right task. It takes some experience to realize that a lot of work is better left undone. It might be busywork that is performed out of habit, or it might be work that is heading in the wrong direction. Working smart means making sure you are spending your time on jobs that are effective and that actually need to be done.
