Be a food waste warrior

There are so many people in this world suffering. They are suffering, because they have nothing to eat. I also had this experience a few years ago. I can tell you, it is one of the worst feelings you can have. In our western society it became quite common to throw away food; just like that.

In Germany for instance 30 percent of the food goes to waste;

in the U.S. even 40 percent. And this is just to name a few.

This is responsible for 8 percent of the global greenhouse gas emissions.

On the other side, if you see fathers, who come home with no food for their families and children, who are crying, because they are hungry, it breaks my heart. Please listen to this: it is not good to throw away food. What can you do?

Buy and put just enough food on your plate that you will eat for sure. If you are still hungry afterwards, you can easily put more food on. Sometimes we put too much on our plates; that can happen. If that happens, don't throw the leftovers away. Keep them for later or share with your brothers and sisters.

If you have bought too much food for yourself,

give it to some local food charity shops

who will give that food for the people in need.

Thank you.
