Wasting food is the biggest crime on this earth
Answers
Answer:
A crime is ravaging the world, and we are all guilty. We have no one to blame but ourselves for the fact that 821 million people worldwide suffer from some level of malnourishment, and every five seconds an innocent child dies from hunger.
We have more than enough food, but too much of it ends up as waste. Every year, about 1.6 billion tons of food, a third of global production for human consumption, is lost or wasted, at a cost of $2.6 trillion when you factor in secondary effects such as methane emissions and soil degradation. Beyond the immediate impact of waste, landfills full of decaying organic matter contribute to about 8 percent of global greenhouse gases, meaning even our current means of disposing of waste are tarnishing our planet. It is not only an economic and environmental issue, but also an ethical one.
Answer:
Food waste is something that affects us all. It happens anywhere food has a presence; the grocery store, restaurants, in our homes, at schools, on farms, in production and even in transportation. It affects people everywhere; those living oceans away and those that share our boarders, people living across America and throughout Utah, businesses and households alike.
Being Aware is a Personal Responsibility
So is the problem food waste itself, or that food is being thrown out when there are alternative options? Or is it that we just don’t stop to consider there is a problem? My concern is that it’s not a priority for most people
