Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines， mobile phone covers and hand warmers.     “ It’s been such a surprise，’’ said Liang Zhaoyun， 19,a student at the university in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food. ’’ The measure is part of a national “eat-up” campaign (行动）which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses (校园）.
