Not only will it save money, it is good for the environment. After all, growing, packaging and transporting food uses a lot of Earth’s resources such as energy and water.     1    .

First, it’s a good idea to find out just how much food goes into your rubbish can. Keep a diary and note down the foods that get thrown most often, and why.

Planning meals for the week can save time and money.     2    . Bananas that are brown and soft can be baked into banana bread at the weekend. Potatoes and carrots last a long time if kept in a cool, dark place.

Cooking the correct size helps too. Weigh out pasta or rice you need before you cook it. Before you pile your plate, check how hungry you are.     3    .

It’s hard to keep track of food that’s gone to the back of the fridge. You could label a shelf an “Eat me first” spot for anything that has been there for a while.     4    . You can freeze leftovers in a sealed container for another day. But heat any leftovers put in a fridge thoroughly before eating.

    5    . Some UK supermarkets have taken “best before” dates off fruit and vegetables. This can encourage people to use their nose and eyes to work out if something is still fine to eat. Don’t forget to update your diary to see how much change you can make.

A．Finally, use your senses.

B．At last, ask an adult to help.

C．Your freezer is another way to save food.

D．Meat from a Sunday roast could go into sandwiches on Monday.

E．This may prevent you from leaving food because you’re too full.

F．Read the instruction carefully to make sure that you use it properly.

G．Here are some simple tips that can help you become food-waste fighters.

【推荐3】Basic Steps of CPR Everyone Should Know

Do you know how to offer first aid if a person has an accident and stops breathing but there is no doctor available at hand? Applying CPR is usually helpful when emergencies such as a heart attack occurs. Read this CPR guide now so you know what to do if someone is experiencing a life-threatening (威胁生命) emergency.

Step 1. Position your hands.

Make sure the patient is lying on his back on a firm surface. Kneel beside him and place your hand on the center of the chest. Keep your arms straight, cover the first hand with the other hand and interlock (紧扣) the fingers of both hands together. Keep your fingers raised so they do not touch the patient’s chest.

Step 2.       .

Push the breastbone up and down to a depth of about 5 cm about 30 times, at a rate of 100 beats per minute.

Step 3. Give rescue breaths.

Make sure the airway is open, and pinch (捏) the nose so it closes. Gently raise the chin (下巴) upwards with two fingers of your other hand. Take a deep breath, put your mouth over the patient’s, and blow until you can see his chest, rise.Then remove your mouth from the patient’s and look along the chest, watching the chest fall. To get another breath, lift your head and breathe in deeply. Perform Step 3 again.

Step 4. Repeat chest compressions (按压) and rescue breaths.

Repeat the 30 chest compressions followed by the two breaths about five times, and then check for normal breathing. If that person is not breathing normally, continue performing CPR. If breathing restarts as normal, stay with the injured person until help arrives.

First aid is an important life skill that everyone should learn. The more people who learn CPR, the more lives can be saved in the future.
