Food’s 12, Food Waste

Food waste is a major problem in our world today, approximately 1.3 billion tonnes is wasted a year. In my life at home, school, or other activities or places lots of food is wasted. At home, my family usually puts extra food in the compost bin but occasionally uses the garbage. We usually have leftovers after dinner which is an issue we could improve by making less food, or taking them for lunch the next day. When I eat out it usually depends on the dish I order and the size, if I were to go out for sushi I could order a small amount but if I were to go somewhere as I Hop, for example, I can’t finish a whole dish.  A solution for this could be taking extra food home to go and have later. At school, I pack my lunch, I bring snacks like fishy crackers or a granola bar, and usually a sandwich or pasta. If I don’t eat all the snacks I just bring them home for another day. I don’t think I waste much food at school but occasionally I can throw extra food away. In conclusion, I believe that I do waste too much food in total and can try to make amounts that won’t leave me with extra, or make sure to compost and recycle the things I do use.
