We waste food every minute of the day (all over the globe) and we haven’t found a solution yet. We could keep the leftovers and could reuse them to make a yummy meal, maybe we could take a lack on our groceries, donate food to the homeless or we could use a different source of food. There are so many solutions we could use we all just need to figure it out.
We usually don't want the rest of our breakfast, lunch or dinner because we get too full. Instead of saving for tomorrow we throw it out and it goes to waste, but we could change that by saving our leftovers and putting it in the fridge for tomorrow. If we do that then we won’t waste a whole lot of food and we can have a nice yummy meal depending on what the leftovers are.
If we lack on our groceries and not spend most of our money on all this food we buy then maybe we might just not have any leftovers which leads to waste. A few ways we could all use to help out:
1. Make sure you plan what you are going to eat for the week so you know what to buy
2. Don’t make too much of a big meal otherwise there most likely will be leftovers
3. Store food in the right places so the food doesn’t expire otherwise you’ll have to throw it out
So if we stop getting lots of food and making big meals then we might not have any leftovers to waste and if we don’t waste all our money on lots of food we will also save the leftovers.
Studies show that in 2018 we wasted 157, 398 tonnes of food which is approximately 86 kilos. All of that waste could have gone to the homeless. Basically what I am saying is that we could give our leftovers to the homeless. I mean they don’t get a ton of food, that 86 kilos of wasted food could have gone to the homeless that don’t get much food at all, and it is most likely enough leftovers to go to all the homeless people in New Zealand. So why not donate all our leftovers to the homeless? Well, we won’t have to waste food and we won’t have to worry about the homeless starving.
Should we start looking for different food sources? All our farm animals or wild animals are dying down because of us killing them. So maybe we could find another food source to eat such as bugs. You may think bugs are gross and they would taste all slimy and gooey, but sometimes they can taste nice. But, if we flavour them they may just taste like pizza or if we dip them in a chocolate sauce you might only taste the chocolate flavour. We could do so much with bugs and they may be a different flavour but we can change that with all the toppings we have. I mean I wouldn’t like to eat bugs, but you never know if you don’t try.
Well, there are many ways we can solve this problem of waste but these four were the main ones I could think of and the ones I thought were most important. Reusing our leftovers, lacking on our groceries, donating food to the homeless and eating bugs are four ways I think we could solve this waste.
So that's my essay draft! My actual essay will be longer.
Is there anything I could work on for my actual essay? Did you spot my thesis? Tell me if you did!
Anyways Bye!
Good effort Gaia. Some great ideas. You might need to work on some of the grammar.
