Entry #9 Don't waste, save

 

This image right here means something very important that happens a lot in society. I'm pretty sure you've heard about the probelm of people wasting food. Restaurants and fast food places throw out thousands of perfectly edible food that could feed the hungry everyday. Not just restaurants but also people throw out food that they didn't like away in the garbage. This image talks about those people and wants them to understand that what they are throwing away someone could dream of eating. 

A big problem that a lot of us are doing is that we are wasting food instead of giving it away. The UNEP Food Waste Index Report 2024 made an estimate that showed we waste 1 billion meals a day. This 1 billion meals could be used to feed the hungry and the ones who are need but instead it just wasted. There are places like Food Bank where people go there to donate food or get food for free. Your food doesn't have to go to garbage, it could be donated. 

The next time you want to throw away the food that didn't fit your desired taste, give it away to people who are in need. There are millions of people who are starving to death and you could save their life or help by just a little. There are places that me it easy for us where we can just donate our food without going through the trouble of finding hungry people. If everyone stopped wasting food and giving it away instead then it will help impact our hunger probelm by a lot. It can also get your money's worth, if you didn't eat it then somebody else did.
