Qi Haoran, a Junior 1 student, was quite busy over the past winter vacation – and not just with homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (“光盘行动”).

    The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.

   The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January. It calls on people to reduce food waste.

    China in these years had serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

    Chinese people are well known for being hospitable (好客的) and generous(大方的). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.

    Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner give the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker (贴花). People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home.

    To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It’s important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?

Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem,“ Every grain on the plate comes from hard work ( 谁知盘中餐,粒粒皆辛苦).”But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.

A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food ? Of course not. According to the UN World Food program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

The Chinese people are well known for being hospitable ( 好客的 ) and generous ( 慷慨大方 ). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired because she took some leftover  food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized ( 批评 ) the waste of food.

What should we do in our daily life to waste less food ? Here are some tips :

Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you can not eat all the food you ordered ,take the rest of it home.

Don’t be too picky ( 挑剔的 ) about food . Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.

Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.
