Our Food Waste Could Feed A Person For One Week
October 31, 2009 — sekim13
My plan to help achieve the millenium development goals is trying to get more people aware about the amount of food waste that we create. Everyday, we all eat a minimum of three meals a day, sometimes even more. Of those meals, most people don’t finish or throw away everything that they don’t finish. Even during lunch time, for example, many of us don’t finish all of our food and we end up throwing it all away. Not only does this cause problems in the enviornment with too much waste, but the amount of food that we throw away could probably feed a malnurished child living in an LEDC for about a week.
To help create awareness about this issue, we should do campaigns to try and let more people in this school to get to know about this issue. Also, during lunch in the cafeteria, we should set up a small table next to where people throw all their uneaten food away, and if someone has thrown away food, we should ask for a small donation. Perhaps 10,000 for every plate that is unfinished and thrown away. It may not seem like a lot of money to us, but to them, it could be a lot. There are actually a lot of people in the world that live on less than $1 a day. This would not only help the many people living in LEDC’s, but it would also help to reduce the amount of waste that is produced.

While numerous look to have escaped the key idea of most of it, when you stated before is illuminated plus dead on. I am not enunciating that I harmonize on all details; all the same, you did minded me cause to rethink numerous of the details that I supposed that I took for as single-minded opinions in that respects. Substantially stated, and now for my own brain to consider a bit more connected to more of many of the outstanding items. All together it is clear that you have have added a little thoght to the World.”
