We all love food. But when we can’t finish our meal, what do we think of that?
We may think that it’s OK to waste(浪费) a little food. One of my classmates often throws away(扔掉) the eggs when he has breakfast at school. He says eggs are not his favorite. Some of my friends ask their parents to cook all kinds of nice foods for them every day. If they can’t finish the food, they will throw it away. At the same time, many people order too many dishes(点太多菜) when they have dinner with their friends or family in a restaurant(餐馆).
In China, people waste 35,000,000 tons of food every year. This wasted food can feed 200,000,000 people a year. But we can help to stop(阻止) waste by doing some small things.
For example, at Nankai Rongqiao Secondary School, teachers ask students not to take too much food if they can’t eat it all. They also have class meetings about “Stop Food Waste” in every class. “There was 100 kg of food waste every day. But now, it is down(下降) by 75%,” the teachers say.
Here is what we can do to stop food waste.
Many countries have food banks. People and stores can give food to the food banks and the bank can give the food to those people in need. Shanghai Oasis, China’s first food bank, gets 7,000,000 tons of food and helps 760,000 people during 5 years.
Many fruits and vegetables go to waste because they look ugly. For example, about 25% to 30% of carrots are wasted because of their looks. So, buy ugly food next time.
Many Chinese restaurants ask people to order dishes by(通过) using the “N-1” formula(公式). “N” is the number of people in your group. So, if you’re in a group of six people, you should order five dishes.
