「考研滿分作文」環(huán)境保護類：減少浪費

060

As is shown in the drawing, two men are walking proudly away from a dinner table which is full of all kinds of leftovers such as chicken, pork, fish and shrimp. The caption says, "The food wasted every year is worth 200 billion yuan."

Food wastage like that in the cartoon above is a serious problem today. It leads to higher food bills, obesity problems, higher waste disposal costs and a disregard for people who don't have enough food to eat each day. If we practiced thrift at home we would not only reduce our food bills but also our waistlines. It would also mean that our disposable incomes would increase and the money saved could be used for other things. Putting leftovers in the fridge that could be used later in the week is another way of combating food waste.

The responsible use of resources that are available to us starts at home. Reducing food waste sends a clear message to family and friends alike: Waste not, want not.
