Estimated by WRAP, every family in UK will throw away 250-400 pounds food every year. What to Dress with What's worse, the environmental problems caused by the discarded food are far more serious than shopping bags. That is because carbon dioxide released by food supply chain takes one fifth of the whole emmission, moreover greenhouse gas methane could occur when food breaking down food. The CEO of WRAP Liz. Goodwin said, "If we stop waste these food, the effect is equal to driving one fifth of the cars." This advocacy campaigns of stopping food waste will call for people to carefully plan the amount of family meal, make and adhere to follow their own shopping list, reduce shopping volume every time, learn to make use of leftovers and food which has passed the best edible period.
Janet Linfield, the coordinator of sustainable development on food and agriculture policy, contends that the detachment between food production and consumption is vital cause which results in food waste. She said, "There are many reasons for food waste, but the most important thing is that people do not cherish the food, do not know how they were planted. People who experienced the war are generally economical, because they experienced the hardship of food shortage." WRAP found that half of the food which were thrown away, were inedibel walls, shells, bones and etc.
While in the other edible half, among which nearly one third were vegetables and fruits, about one-fifth were bread and cakes. In addition, some uncooked meat, fish and leftovers were also included. But at the same time, there are a lot of people respected the post-environmentalism. The post-environmentalists praised innovative, non-binding environmental philosophy, which has a strong attraction and quickly become the new fashion of environmental protection.
In their view, life should have more of a creative and less deliberately; more of a free and less bound; thrift is necessary, but innovation is the key to solve the problem. So they think you can advocate people to save food, but can't take it as the chief measure of environment protect. The most efficient way is continuous innovation. As we all know, the United Nations climate change summit in Copenhagen is being held in London, about 4 million people convene a protest on the streets.
