3 effects of food waste
There are many effects of food waste, which hurt planet, people or people’s wallet. One of these is for example the fact, that wasted food mostly goes to landfills, which produce the methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas and it is considered much more dangerous for our planet than for example carbon dioxide, which means that wasted food is one of the causes of global warming.
Another problem of food waste which is also very serious is that, the food which is wasted in
well-developed countries, is missing in other parts of the world, where the food is needed.
There is a study, which says that, if the amount of food which is wasted all around the world were
Image result for food waste reduced by twenty-five percent, there would be enough food to feed all the people from countries with high levels of food shortage and never-lasting hunger all around the world.
In my opinion it is sad that some people are so selfish, and instead of sending the food, which they wouldn’t eat anyway to people who are dying on hunger, they just throw it to the trash bin.
However, the thing which I think people, who are wasting food didn’t realise yet is that, wasted food is the same as wasted money. If some of us wouldn’t buy all the food which is being wasted in the end, they would have much more money than they have now. I’m sure that everyone would like to have a new mercedes-benz in garage rather than another bag which is  full of decaying fruit, vegetables or the rest of our today’s lunch. It is not anyhow difficult to save a lot of money, if you buy only food, which you are sure that you will consume and no more.
Be clever! Don’t waste either food, or your money! Stop food waste!

FOOD WASTE Why do people want to waste food? Why do people want to waste food? Fewer people would be hungry, less gases would be released to the air because we would need less food. In poor countries, most food is wasted during production and distribution. Instead, in rich countries, consumers waste the most food. It goes without saying that some food is wasted along the chain. Greenhouse gas poluutes the planet more than even CO2. Food waste that ends up in landfills produces a large amount of methane. The greenhouse gases such as methane, CO2 and chlorofluorocarbons absorb infrared radiation and heat up the earth's atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change. As a first step, priority should be given to balancing production with demand. This essentially translates to lesser use of natural resources to produce food which is not needed. Harvesting, processing, and distributing processes If it is not enough, it ...

Food Waste   How much food is wasted (in euro) each year in Europe? You can do that and at the same time help the community by stopping food waste.
