Why We Shouldn’t Waste Food?

Food waste is a big problem and it needs to be stopped. Food wasting is bad for the Earth and the environment, wastes money, and wastes resources. If we all work together, this problem of food wasting can be changed!

To start with, wasting food is bad, and destructive for the Earth’s environment. When food rots with other organics in landfill, it gives off methane gas, which is 25 times more powerful than carbon pollution.

Food waste can also cause infestation of rodents, which can cause disease and sickness to spread to everyone. It is also unjust that we toss out perfectly good, excess food, while people in the world are dying every second.

Secondly, wasting food also wastes your money. Instead of throwing perfectly good food away to landfill, we should do something useful with it like giving it away to homeless people that don’t have money to buy food.

Lastly, wasting food wastes resources. When you toss out food, you’re also wasting everything that helped make it.

We need to stop buying food we don’t need and then waste. If we buy food, we must make sure we eat it! Wasting food is not sustainable for our earth, wastes our money and wastes many valuable resources.

What is the main idea of the passage above?

• How to make food sustainably

• How wasted food can destruct our earth

• The negative effects of wasting food

• The benefits of wasting food

• How to give food to the poor
