DONATE TO THE POOR

Did you know how much food we waste every years? You know that USA wastes 40% of their food.

Maybe you don't know but today a lot of people are wasting food and just few people don't waste it. We usually waste food for example also when we cook too much food or when we buy a lot. Maybe you miss it but you are wasting food. We don't waste only food but also water and energy. For us maybe the water is a normal thing but you can never imagine that some people of Africa don't have it, and that for them how is important. also me, I waste food because I don't like to eat a lot of food such as vegetables or fruit, but I love eat meat. We must improve this situation and you must think about the children that don't have a thing to eat. I think that the best way for us to not waste food isdonate the food to the poor people. 

Maybe you don't want to help them ,giving them some money because you work for it. Is' s normal. I thought this way before. But then, one time when we went to mc donalds , my uncle put the money on the box for the poor people and when I saw that , I soon asked him why he did this, and so ho told me that you can help the poor children also with a simple gesture like this, so give them some money, even if you give just a little. After this answer , I'm asking him again and I said that if they don't give the money in the box to the poor, at this question my uncle said that he doesn't care because he did the right thing and he helped the children, and they were wrong if they are not going to give them the money. 

So after this time I started to help the poor people. How? Easy , every time I went to mc donald I put some money in the box , not because I have a lot of money to waste only because I want to help them because we are lucky we are born in a normal family and you parent can give you whatever you want, but they are no so lucky and this is not their folt. You know the day in which you can buy the food for the poor people. You can do the shopping for them and then give the food to the association or you can help the people to compile the food. Another way to help the poor people is to give them the food just i said. For example, in France and in another country the supermarket gives the food that is about to expire to the poor people so you do not waste it. And recently the governament made a new low for this and the supermarket can't waste the food but they must give the food to the poor people or to the association. I think that this is a nice idea because you are not going to waste food and at the same time you can help the people.

Today wasting food is a big issue and we must do something to stop it and to waste less. We don't need to do something very difficult or great, but we just need do own best like don't cook a lot of food when you are not hungry, something very easy that you meet every day in your life.

So, the next time you are about to throw way food, think about donating to the poor instead. You will feel better about not wasting food , and you will help someone less fortunate than yourself too.
