Indeed, it is common sense for people to treat them to dinner in China, and especially during festivals, it is common for family members to eat at home or get together outside. However, in order to show the host's hospitality, the host usually cooks or orders many dishes at home or outside. But these dishes are generally inexhaustible. If you are at home, maybe you can save them for the next meal. But outside, most people don't pack leftovers home, so the food waste in China is very serious every year. But this waste of food is not only a waste of money, but also a waste of resources. You know, in some remote areas of China, people still don't have enough to eat, and the food wasted by people could have filled the stomachs of these poor people.

so, how can we effectively stop the waste of food and beverage?

I think a vegetarian cafeteria that I often go to does a good job. In order to prevent everyone from wasting food, this restaurant requires everyone to weigh the leftovers when recycling tableware. If it exceeds a certain weight, you have to pay twice the meal fee. Because of everyone's consciousness and this rule, everyone I see has little or no leftovers when recycling tableware. In my opinion, other restaurants can follow this example: after the meal, according to the quantity and weight of the dishes, a quota is set to allow the weight of the remaining dishes. If it exceeds this quota, the fee of 21 to 51 yuan will be deducted according to the price of a dish. If the weight of each dish is excessive, each dish is charged and the guest is required to pay the total cost.

another way is that I think all kinds of restaurants now offer various group-buying packages, such as two-person, four-person and multi-person packages. Many people choose to buy a set meal in order to save money and save the trouble of ordering and matching. In fact, usually the meals contained in the set meal far exceed the amount that the number of people who use the set meal can eat. Therefore, it often causes great waste at these times. The more people are allowed to use the set meal, such as meals for eight people and meals for ten people, the more food is wasted. Therefore, I think the restaurant can control the quantity and weight of meals included in each package, so that the amount of meals included in the group purchase meal is almost equal to the amount that these people can bear. Don't pile up many kinds of dishes just to attract customers to spend, which will increase sales, but it will also play a very negative role in food waste.

In order to protect the environment and save food, we should do our best and take the initiative to stop food waste. Only in this way, the environment of the earth will get better day by day, and the situation of not eating can also be slowed down.
