According to the finding of a new UN report，the world wastes about one sixth of the food each year.That's about 1，030，000，000 tons，or 121 kilograms for each person on the Earth.

    61% of the food waste is from home cooking.Food services，such as restaurants，produce 26% and groceries （食品杂货店）and other stores 13% "We thought waste was a problem in rich countries，" says Martina Otto，who works for the UN Environment Program.

    "However，the new report finds，food waste is a big problem in nations rich and poor."

    Each year，some 690，000，000 people go hungry.At the same time，about 10% of all CO₂ on the Earth is from the activities that produce the food waste.Control on food waste can help deal with hunger and cut down that pollution.It is helpful to both people and the planet.By avoiding wasting food，we can save money and time.More importantly，we can help protect the Earth's most valuable resources （资源）.

    Then what can we do to stop food waste？Small actions make a difference.Each of us can play a part.Next time，before you throw，think twice!
