Radio Frequency Identification Tags are going to save a lot of lives in the food industry. Generally 10,000 or more Americans die each year from food poisoning. It is probably much higher but we cannot always tell why older people with poor immune systems die or what the final cause actually was. Usually when the FDA rapid response teams recall a food item for e.Coli bacteria or salmonella poisoning, about 39% is recovered. But what about the rest of the food, which has left the food supply chain into shopping carts and onto the kitchen tables? The trick is to find it in the supply chain fast, as the food chain is constantly in motion and the average grocery store turns over 100% of its items 300 times per year. This means few products sit on the shelves more than a few days.
RFID tags will save lives as it will be much easier to track items faster and each store can run down the isles and pull those products and even key them into the register with an alert attached, stopping it from being rung up or even leaving the store you see. RFID tags in the food industry stand to save quite a few lives per year and that means another layer of protection for the American People. This is why I believe that RFID Tag will benefit the FDAs rapid response Food Recall System and save lives. Consider all this in 2006.

Per the U.S. Energy Information Administration web site, there are a number of chemical compounds found in the Earth’s atmosphere that act as greenhouse gases. When sunlight strikes the Earth’s surface, some of it is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation, or heat. Over time, the amount of energy sent from the sun to the Earth’s surface should be about the same as the amount of energy radiated back into space, leaving the temperature of the Earth’s surface roughly constant, but greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap it in the atmosphere, causing conditions such as climactic change. Biofriendly Corporation’s Green Plus liquid fuel catalyst greatly assists in easing greenhouse gas emissions, and assists in restoring the proper balance.
“Carbon dioxide emissions, resulting from the use of petroleum, represent 42 percent of total U.S. human-made greenhouse gas emissions,” says Robert W. Carroll, Chairman and CEO of Biofriendly Corporation. “We are very pleased to offer a product which reduces such emissions and contributes to restoring our atmosphere to a more natural state.”
According to the U.S.I.A. web site, concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are naturally regulated by numerous processes collectively known as the “carbon cycle.” While these natural processes can absorb some of the net 6.1 billion metric tons of man-made carbon dioxide emissions produced each year, an estimated 3.2 billion metric tons is added to the atmosphere annually. The Earth’s positive imbalance between emissions and absorption results in the continuing growth in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
A large percentage of carbon dioxide emissions come from automobiles, trucks and ships. The reason these vehicles create such a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions is that they only convert 30-40% of the fuel burned into energy, some of the wasted energy is converted into exhaust emissions such as carbon dioxide. biofriendly.com/about_green_plus.htm
Green Plus converts more fuel into energy with a “positive domino effect” - that is, a more complete burn, a more linear burn and a cooler burn. This in turn delivers more power, more torque, better fuel economy and fewer harmful emissions. The best way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is to burn less fuel and Green Plus can help to do this.
