Food Waste

① ( 　　　　　　　　　　 )  It means wasting food/we can still eat.// Worldwide,/over 1.3 billion tons of food/is thrown away each year.// This is one third of total food/produced in the world.// With this amount of food,/we could feed all of the people/suffering from hunger.// Why does food waste happen?//

② ( 　　　　　　　　　　 )  In many developed countries,/people tend to buy/or order more food/than they actually consume.// Moreover,/stores and restaurants tend to keep more food/than necessary/for their customers.// That extra food is thrown away as garbage/in the end.//

③ ( 　　　　　　　　　　 )  In France,/by law,/large supermarkets have to donate their unsold food/to a charity organization.// Charities then sell the food/to people in need/at discounted prices.// In Japan,/the government made a law/in 2019.// The law aims to reduce/the amount of food waste/in factories, shops, and households.//

④ ( 　　　　　　　　　　 )  First,/we can try to buy or order/only the amount of food/we need.// Second,/we can try to take home leftovers/if we can’t finish the food in restaurants.// There may be more things/that we can do/in our daily lives.// Let’s work together locally/and make a difference globally.//
