题目内容
2.In New York,students at 18schools participate in a program called We Future Cycle.Started by Anna Giordano in 2014,it teaches kids to recycle,compost (制成堆肥),and reduce food waste.Lunch areas at the participating schools are equipped with three clearly marked bins-compost,recycle and share.While the first two are common in schools,the third is rare,where kids can put their unwanted drinks,fruits,and even untouched sandwiches.Items in the container are available for any student that wants them.Whatever remains at the end of the day is donated to the food bank.Giordano says the three bins have helped reduce the nun of trash bags from an average of 22to just 2!
To ensure kids adopt similar habits at home,the non-profit has created extensive curriculum to educate families about the importance of sorting waste into the proper streams of recycling,composting,trash and food to donate-They also urge parents to have conversations with their kids about food choices.
But,as we're all aware,kids aren't only ones that Waste food-adults are epually bad,if not worse!To prevent that,Josh Treuhaft founded Salvage Supperclub in 2014.The occasionally organized dinners promise people a tasty multi-course meal for a mere 550USD perperson.It is also a plan to savewaste because the delicious food is made from vegetables that are past their prime and,therefore,headed for the trash bin.
The other catch?Customers have to eat their meals inside a dumpster(大型垃圾装卸车)!The place,of course,is totally clean.It is just a symbolic gesture.In addition to helping people rethink their actions,Treuhaft also helps them to do good by donating part of the profits to non-profits devoted to fighting against food waste.
