Julie had a meeting with its investors and it warned that pretty soon it might
have to suspend summer the key ingredients in its products
now the reason for this is because they feel that what's happening with climate
change
absolutely destroying their business model they are worried that they will
have to pay more in the future for something like guacamole
and their unwilling to pass those costs on to their customers
so I here's what they said: increasing whether volatility
or other long-term changes in global weather patterns including any changes
associated with global climate change
could have a significant impact on the price or availability
up some are ingredients in the event cost increases with respect to one or
more of our raw ingredients we may choose to temporarily suspend serving
menu items
such as guacamole or one or more bar salsas
rather than paying the increased cost for the ingredients
now if you want to get a sense of how much AAA spends
on avocados are how many avocados the use
they basically use 97,000 pounds are mcconnell per day which is incredible
and thats 30 5.4 million pounds of avocados per year
so now I know this probably sometime secret gets criticism for being liberal
but way too many conservatives a hood they're worried
about running their business they saying look I got a problem here
he in terms over what I'm missing
know to be able to do my capitalistic enterprise
correctly I need to have walkability in my food and I
and I don't wanna pay more for villages being reasonable businessman about this
and that's why they're worried about climate change but you don't look that
is actually sign of things to come I think that we actually
do something about climate change when it affects enough
other businesses that they can collect together
and wouldn't be back the energy businesses that profit so much
of us doing nothing at some point the food industry
to and agriculture they're gonna have to band together and fight against
corporations run by the Koch brothers you know whether it's oil or coal or
natural gas it doesn't matter anymore activity that's that the leading to
climate change obviously needs to I you know be put on check soon or else
we're gonna suffer tremendously the food industry is gonna suffer tremendously
and I like the fact that you put League knowledge is this and that they're
they're drawing attention to it
2013 to burrito without guacamole or salsa
I don't that's all america okay n they're just trying to protect
America as we know it in love they are ok so
by the way avocados in California or in a world of trouble
and I know I'm not saying that to be humorous it's real
%uh scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for
example
predict hotter temperatures will cost a 40 percent drop in california's avocado
production over the next thirty two years
so and other good thing about this is that
secrets nice marketing has agreed to panic it may be like oh my god I gotta
go to Tripoli get
her the my burrito with guacamole before they run out via but so that's why i
like that
hey remember to pull away relies on local
organic farmers so the farm needs to be at least within 350 miles from the
restaurant which is interesting I can imagine that there's a logistical issues
with that but I love the fact that they want to support local farmers
oMG and the dryer temperatures as a result up man
made climate change lead to this a decrease production
a or growth I should say about the condo so finally
unfortunately in the world we live in today says
money rules a cash rules everything around me
I'm or what the needs to happen is
EP ever seen as an uprising said unless you get money out of politics
but there never turn around to get to the parties get too much money from
the oil industry et cetera right but if they get more money in legalized bribery
from other businesses that have an interest in major climate change
stops happening right men we can get change
so its current sad day that we gotta wait for other giant corporations
to ride to the rescue in this particular case actually happens to be a great
company
and irresponsible and they got a good product so bless their hearts all around
and they're leading out movement I but before its
take a while before they get enough money to be able to or be the oil
companies
