Reducing food waste is an important issue today. According to government reports, about 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted annually worldwide. That is about 40% of all food. The reports also state, that food waste produces about 10% of the greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. We should address this problem in a variety of ways. For example, we should try to buy only the amount food we can eat. We should also make an effort, to share any leftovers. These actions can help reduce food waste and contribute to keeping our planet healthy.
