FOOD WASTE ON THE PLANET
Do you know how much foods we waste on our planet?
In 2013 about 2 million tons of food has been wasted.
Food waste is a widespread problem in the world, because the modern society is a
really consumer society,that leads it to spend and consume more and more.
Moreover food waste causes many problems, including hunger, but the 3 main effects on our environment are
wasting water, consumer waste ,and releasing methane.

Moreover food waste causes many problems, including hunger, but the 3 main effects on our environment are

First of all wasting food means also wasting water used to produce food and knowing the
amount of water contained in the food that we throw away, for example in the potatos there
is 80% of water, can cause us not to do it.We are the ones who with the our food choices to determine how many water is wasted and if we want to reduce water consumption we
should be more careful to what we eat instead of the wasting water in the kitchen,in the
bathroom or in the garden.Obviously saving water whenever you can is definitely advisable,but if we think of limiting ourselves to reducing domestic consumption we will not be able to have a positive influence on the serious water and so also food problems in the world.

Consumer waste is really important, because the consumer refuses the “not beautiful”
products and therefore pushes companies to discard all of the food not bought by the
consumer.Moreover the consumption behavior is refers to the checking of the expiration
dates.”Best before” you can still eat the food but when there is write “use by” you can not
eat anymore the food. The increase in production volumes leads to a greater emission of
methane caused for its production in industry and for domestic consumption.Moreover
methane is a gas responsible for the greenhouse effect and the consequent rise in
temperature in the Earth's atmosphere (global warming).

In conclusion wasting food is an important topic because it is one of the causes of climate
change, so by knowing that we should be more responsible about the food that we throw
away.Also a lot of people not have nothing to eat so when we throw the food away we have to think about all of the people in the world less lucky than us.Finally, when we waste food
we waste also the money that we used for bought it.In conclusion, food waste and his
causes can be solved by being more careful and by following some direction,for example
you can surgelate food that you don’t eat the night before or doing a list with all the food that are missing instead of for example go to the supermarket and buy whenever you want just because you like it even if you don’t eat it.
