To throw away waste,
is also a problem.
“Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns” [source 1] is twelfth sustainable development goal set by the United Nation. It involves topic like recycling, reuse, management of chemicals and much more. Another underlying target is also to “halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses (…)” [source 1]. This is what our project is based on and at the same time is contributing to reach the goal set by UN. It will not only benefit us and our generation, but also every upcoming generations and our whole mother earth. We often feel like goals are easy to set but hard to accomplish. However, we should always try our best because, it is the only way to succeed. These goals might look very farfetched, but they are still feasible.
Us from The Neat are passionate about taking care of our environment. That is why we are concerned about global issue of food waste. Every year we throw tons of edible food on garbage. When we waste food, we are also wasting money, resources, farmers hard work and dedication. Therefore, wasting food is somehow destruction of our world.
It is super important to reduce food waste because we absolutely cannot afford it. We need to properly utilize every grain produced because, there are millions of people suffering from malnutrition and some are even starving to death.
Our calculation shows that if we divided the wasted food to those 9 million who died. They would get 144444.4. tons of food per person. This is clearly way above what a person eats in a year. Hence proved that only if we were better at dividing food properly among us, no one would have died due to starvation.
