Item Open Access Eat Every Carrot and Pea on Your Plate: Climate Change and Fining Food Waste(University of Oregon School of Law, 2021-05-14) Wachtel, Jenn F.Although experts have suggested that individuals adopt a variety of methods to reduce greenhouse gases, like decreasing air travel or becoming a vegetarian or vegan, these suggestions frequently seem unreachable or unrealistic because of the drastic lifestyle changes required; however, there is an easier, simpler solution. Each household can reduce the greenhouse gases it produces by reducing the amount of food it places in the trash, since food waste is a significant contributor to greenhouse gases. This Article argues that these issues—food waste in the United States, greenhouse gases, and climate change—could be mitigated by implementing the Republic of Korea’s food waste reduction model.Item Open Access Termination: A Solution to Canadian Entitlement Valuation Disputes(University of Oregon School of Law, 2021-05-14) Reimer, JakeThe Columbia River Treaty (CRT) is an international treaty between Canada and the United States created to control and harness the Columbia River. The CRT was prompted by a 1948 flood that destroyed the city of Vanport, Oregon. The water management community regards the CRT as a premier transboundary water management treaty; however, a key flood control provision in the CRT will expire in 2024 unless the two countries negotiate a new provision. How Canada and the United States negotiate this provision will shape the economic and environmental landscape of the Columbia River Basin for decades to come. This Comment assesses the CRT as currently written and determines how the United States should approach modifying the treaty.
