Food waste has become a big problem in China.According to Xinhua News Agency, the food waste by Chinese people equates to about 50 million tons of grain every year or 10 percent of the country’s total annual grain production.This food could feed another 200 million people.
Qi Haoran, a Junion9 student was quite busy over the past winter holiday, and not just with homework.Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign(“光盘行动).
The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food.“Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat.Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
The Clean Your Plant Campaign began on the Internet in January.It calls on people to reduce food waste.
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的)and generous.Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.
