Do you worry that you might be wasting ( 浪费) food? During the COVID-19 pandemic, people around the world went hungry. But then people came up with ways to help. One was to put fridges filled with food outside.
But it started before COVID-19 began. In 2016, a restaurant owner(店主)in Kochi, India thought of the idea late one night when she saw a lady looking for food in a trash can (垃圾桶).
She was really sad because that night, her restaurant had made lots of food and she didn’t give any to her.
Over in the UK, the charity, Hubbub, started The Community Fridge Network. It supports (支持) groups running communal (公用的 ) fridges across the country. Now, there are over 300 fridges in the UK. Hubbub has worked with the supermarket Coop, to have 500 fridges by the end of 2023.
“A fridge is so often much more than a fridge,” said Hubbub’s official website. “Fridges bring people together.”
