How often do you or someone you know leave food on your plate？Does your family throw away food from the fridge because it's no longer fresh？If food waste is a problem in your home，think about what it's like worldwide.
    People waste about one-third of all food in the world.To give you an idea of how shocking that is，consider that the waste weighs as much as 200 million elephants!Among the waste，45% of fruits and vegetables are wasted，35% of seafood，and 30% of grains.Milk products and meat are also wasted，but not as much.Most of this waste happens in North America and Europe，where about 100 kg of food per person is wasted each year.Up to 40% of the food in the United States is never eaten.The United States wastes so much food that it could feed most of the country's hungry people for one year.
    Food waste is a really big problem.It costs money and hurts the environment.Wasting food also raises social questions.But there are ways we can reduce（減少）the food we throw away.One way is to recycle the food we do not eat.Unwanted food breaks down and goes back into the soil to grow more fruits and vegetables.We could also buy less at the supermarket.We should take time to think about how much food we will actually eat.Another way to reduce food waste is to join charity（慈善）organizations and create activities that give food to people who often go hungry.
    To reduce food waste is a big task，and it needs time.If we all make the decision to stop wasting food，we can make a difference!
