题目内容
16.On January 13,2016,France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate that is approaching its expiration date(有效期) instead of throwing it away.The regulation that applies to super-markets over 4,000 square feet requires stores to sign donation contracts with local food banks.The law also makes it illegal for stores to pour bleach(漂白剂) or water over nearly expired food,or store it inside locked warehouses until it is picked up by garbage trucks.These extreme measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from foraging through the trash bins.Supermarkets that do not obey the new law face the risk of large amounts of fines.The law also requires the charities receiving the donations to store the food in a hygienic manner and,more importantly,give it out with dignity.
Jacques Bailet,who heads a network of French food banks called the Banques Alimentaires,says that of the 110,000 tons of goods received annually,only 36,000 tons comes from supermarkets.Bailet estimates that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.
Though this is a great first step,Arash Dermabarsh,the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban,is not done.He now wants to extend the law to other sectors like restaurants,bakeries,and school cafeterias and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations.These steps arc necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France,an astonishing 67% i.s thrown by consumers,with supermarkets and restaurants making up the rest.
Sadly enough,the statistics are similar in industrialized countries as well.That is why we all need to do our share to cut back the over l.3 billion tons of perfectly good food that ends up in our landfills (坟圾填埋场) annually!This will not just help feed the less fortunate,but also aid in our fight against global warming.An added bonus?It will save the world billions of dollars!
