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.

There is a study, which says that, if the amount of food which is wasted all around the world were 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.

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 neither food, nor 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 ...
