STOP WASTING OUR RESOURCES
Did you know that about 80 percent of the food is wasted? We need to stop this from today. We cannot continue waiting or the results will be devastating. If we do not stop wasting this large amount of food one day we will end up with no resources. Don' t you believe it? If you want to stop wasting food and start protecting our planet you just need to follow these three easy but efficient techniques.
The first way to reduce to reduce food waste is to eat less meat. Every person eats about 80 kg of meat per year. Meat is one of the most expensive resources that we have. By reducing meat consumption we are also reducing all the resources that we need to raise a cow. So if instead of eating this large amount of meat to get our daily amount of proteins we can try to reduce the meat and start eating other foods such as peanuts or insects, which contain a large amount of proteins.
Next, to reduce food waste we should all make a shopping list every time we go to buy something. This way we will reduce food waste because you only buy the things that you want to eat. The food won' t spoil because you know what you already have, so you won' t buy extra. Some people might not have enough time to make an inventory so they could ask their parents to use it.
Finally eating the food that we buy before it spoils is one of the most important things to reduce food waste. An average American throws away about one fourth of the food that he is supposed to consume. The most efficient way to reduce this is to preserve it properly, for example if you buy a large amount of fresh food is better if you put everything in the fridge and when you want to consume it you just take the portion that you will eat. With the things that are outside you should keep then completely closed so the insects won' t eat them.
With these three ways you will be able to reduce food waste and protect our planet, I know it sounds too exaggerated, but it is true because if we continue wasting this amount of resources instead of using them one day it will be too late. Start applying these techniques now!

I'm perfectly agree with you. We all should eat less meat because it was first an animal so we have killed it for nothing, write a list before doing our shopping that can help me for remembering what I have to buy and let the extras food into the fridge for conserving it for more time. I think I'm going to follow your steps because they are good and not too difficult to follow.
