If food waste were a country, it would be the third highest emitter of greenhouse gases after the US and China, according to the UN.

To help combat our mounting food waste problem, a startup in Singapore is farming (!) black soldier fly larvae.

Its maggots are recycling food waste... by eating it.

How cutting your food waste can help the climate

All food generates ( ) greenhouse gases to reach our plates, but when nearly a third of it is thrown away or wasted, does that mean we could be doing more to protect the climate?

How much did you leave on your plate last time you ate? A few scrapings ( )? A couple of rogue chips? Or perhaps even a few mouthfuls ( ) you were too stuffed ( ) to finish off?

It is worth considering, then, that every time you throw leftovers ( ) away, you're not just binning ( ) tomorrow's lunch – each forkful ( ) of food was responsible for greenhouse gas emissions ( ) before it even got to your plate.

Growing, processing ( ), packaging and transporting the food we eat all contributes to ( ) climate change.

And then when we throw it away, as it rots ( ) it releases yet more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere ( ).

It has been estimated that if food waste was a country, it would be the third highest emitter of greenhouse gases after the US and China, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.

One third of greenhouse emissions globally come from agriculture ( ), and 30% of the food we produce is wasted – about 1.8 billion tonnes of it a year.

If, as a planet, we stopped wasting food altogether, we'd eliminate 8% of our total emissions.

Of course, individual households aren't to blame for ( ) all of this waste.

A 2018 study found that about a third of our fruit and veg is rejected for being the wrong size or shape before it even reaches the supermarket shelf, for example.

Where food is most wasted differs across the world.

In low income countries, 40% of food is wasted after it's harvested ( ) but before it makes it to people's homes, usually because of a lack of adequate ( ) infrastructure ( ).

But in middle- and high-income countries, consumers take a bigger slice ( ) of the blame: estimates suggest that households are responsible for 53% of all food waste in Europe, and 47% of food waste in Canada.

減少浪費食物可改善暖化現象

所有食物到達我們的餐盤之前都會產生溫室氣體，但當將近三分之一的食物都被丟棄或浪費時，是否表示我們能夠更加努力保護氣候？

你上次用餐時在餐盤中剩下多少食物？是一些殘渣？幾塊劣質薯片？或甚至是因為吃不下而剩下的好幾口食物？

那麼你就應該考慮，每一次你丟棄廚餘時，不只是丟掉了明明以後可以吃的食物，而且每一叉之量的食物到達你的餐盤之前，都會造成溫室氣體排放。

種植或養殖、處理、包裝與運送我們吃的食物，都助長了氣候變遷。

然後被我們丟棄的食物腐爛時，還會釋放更多溫室氣體到大氣中。
聯合國糧食及農業組織估計，如果「浪費食物」是一個國家，其溫室氣體排放量將高居全球第三名，僅次於美國與中國。

全球三分之一的溫室氣體排放來自農業，而人類生產的30%食物都被浪費掉，每年約有18億公噸。

如果地球上的人類共同停止浪費食物，就能消滅溫室氣體排放總量的8%。

當然，這麼大量的食物浪費不能歸咎於個別家庭。

一項2018年的研究發現，約有三分之一的水果和蔬菜，因為尺寸或形狀不合適，在被送到超市貨架等地方之前就被退貨。

最浪費食物的地方，在每個國家都不同。

在低收入國家，40%食物被採收後、在抵達民眾住家之前就被浪費，往往是由於缺乏完善基礎建設。

但在中高收入國家，消費者浪費食物的責任較大：根據估計，家庭在歐洲占據浪費食物總量的53%；而在加拿大則占47%。

#rosannewong BEACH CLEAN UP - SAI WAN 🧹 🧤 🧤

The last hiking trip to Sai Wan beach was two weeks ago and we were distressed and disgusted by the amount of rubbish, mainly plastic items along the coast. We have made a promise (as a family) to organise a beach clean up at Sai Wan beach and we did it yesterday. We couldn’t thank our friends and like minded buddies enough who have showed up for this beach clean up day.

Plastic bags, bottles, food containers (plastic and styrofoam) and food wrappers lying discarded along the streets and at the beach. Ultimately most of this waste ends up in the sea where it can choke fish, birds and sea creatures. This destroys the ocean’s ecosystem as sea creatures would eat bits of plastic and styrofoam mistakenly as their food and ends up back on our dining table via the seafood we eat.

Do you know PLASTIC takes about 450 YEARS or more to break down?? With this figure you could imagine how much plastic we have on earth now that is waiting at the recycling plants, which the volume can’t be handled hence overspill to landfill and ocean. Even after it does, it releases toxins into its surroundings, our earth (where we breathe, live and grow our food) and ocean (where all sea creatures live and where our seafood are derived from)

Earth is our home, she should be worthy of our dedicated care! Don’t wait until it’s too late to act, join us to save the planet that has given so much to us. We want children and future generations to be able to enjoy theWorld’s beautiful beaches, nature trails and country parks. EVERYONE CAN DO THEIR PART, yes EVERYONE and it starts from home:
1• Mindfully stop styrofoam usage
2• Mindfully reduce plastic usage
Solutions for 1 & 2 is to bring your own take away reusable containers, reusable straws (or don’t use straws at all) and reusable shopping bags.
3• Practice separation of plastic, paper and glass disposal and place it in the apartment’s recycling bins.

Lastly, if you don’t see a rubbish bin around, ALWAYS take your rubbish with you. IF ONLY we could all take care of our own rubbish, this world will be a very beautiful place for us all to live in and no one has to pick up other’s rubbish anymore.

A mooncake (simplified Chinese: 月饼; traditional Chinese: 月餅; pinyin: yuè bĭng; Jyutping: jyut6 beng2; Yale: yuht béng) is a Chinese bakery product traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節). The festival is for lunar appreciation and moon watching, when mooncakes are regarded as an indispensable delicacy. Mooncakes are offered between friends or on family gatherings while celebrating the festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the four most important Chinese festivals.

Typical mooncakes are round pastries, measuring about 10 cm in diameter and 3–4 cm thick. This is the Cantonese mooncake, eaten in Southern China in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau. A rich thick filling usually made from red bean or lotus seed paste is surrounded by a thin (2–3 mm) crust and may contain yolks from salted duck eggs. Mooncakes are usually eaten in small wedges accompanied by tea. Today, it is customary for businessmen and families to present them to their clients or relatives as presents, helping to fuel a demand for high-end mooncakes. A considerable amount of waste is also produced. According to the Wall Street Journal's China edition, as many as two million mooncakes are thrown away each year in Hong Kong alone, not to mention the often voluminous packaging.

Due to China's influence, mooncakes and Mid-Autumn Festival are also enjoyed and celebrated in other parts of Asia. Mooncakes have also appeared in western countries as a form of delicacy
