We all waste food, you and me, every day, millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is increasing fast. So our nation is being encouraged to stop wasting food.
So what should Chinese consumers do to prevent food waste?
♦ Keep a kitchen diary
All of us should keep a kitchen diary, and we can know that how much food we waste at home. The first thing for us to do is to stop throwing away food that we can still eat. We should eat everything we buy and if we cannot, we should buy less.
♦ Buy only what we need
We should ask for smaller portions in stores. We should also check how much food we have before buying more. We shouldn't bring much food we don't need home even if large posters ask us to do so.
♦ Develop the habit of packing food
Chinese consumers are generous and friendly. In restaurants, often too much food is ordered and served. So when ordering out, we are supposed to exclude the food in the order if we don't plan to eat it. And order smaller servings in restaurants and take home what we cannot finish.
Don't put it off! Let's stop food waste today!
(自然生态)If you travel in New Zealand, you may find some very interesting things. It is called "New Zealand Four Strange Things".
Have you ever seen that cows are lined up? New Zealand is so large. It is impossible for people to milk cows by hand. So the farmers trained the leading cow to take the cows to the milking station twice a day. The leading cow has a sensor(传感器)on its head. When it is time for milking, the sensor warns the leading cow to take the lead. |
Horses are mainly raised for viewing(观赏)and racing, so the coat color is very important. Wearing sunscreen(防晒)clothes on horses can avoid the harm from the sun. The clothes on horses are filled with weights that are the same weight of the rider. When the weights are replaced by the rider during the race, "the horses will be used to running with weights" just like the sportsman running with sandbags. |
Sheep in New Zealand used to have tails. Because they poop(排便)when they're born, grass flies are interested in them. Grass flies lay their eggs in the tails of the baby sheep, causing illness and death. Then people tie their tails. As time passes, the sheep become tailless. This improves the survival rate(成活率). |
New Zealand's alpacas(羊驼)were introduced from South America. They are quite different from two-humped camels(双峰驼). An alpaca weighs about 55 kg to 65 kg. Its shape is like a sheep. Only one grown-up male(雄性)alpaca can be found in each group. It is the leading one. Alpacas are gentle, clever and human. |
