Fellow students
Hello!
Chinese people waste as much as 200 billion yuan of food on the table a year, and the food thrown away is equivalent to the annual rations of more than 200 million people. In sharp contrast, our country still has more than 100 million rural poverty alleviation targets, tens of millions of urban poor people, and numerous other people in need. This "waste on the tip of the tongue" attracts people's attention. The "waste on the tip of the tongue" can be found among the people, or even more so in the officialdom. People go to restaurants to eat and leave the food they ordered without finishing it. At the same time, the trend of eating and drinking at public expense is very popular.
During the festival season, there are more gatherings, so you must order more dishes when inviting people to dinner, otherwise you will feel embarrassed. This often results in the guests ordering a lot, the banquet guests not eating much, and half of the banquet table being wasted. A survey shows that a person consumes at least one kilogram of food every day, and a medium-sized or above city wastes 64,000 kilograms of food a day. 64,000 kilograms of food can meet the daily rations of at least 60,000 people.
Most people believe that packing unfinished meals home after dining in a restaurant is a frugal behavior currently being advocated, and they say they will pack unfinished leftovers home. Some people believe that packing leftovers depends on the situation. It is common for everyone to pack leftovers after a meal with relatives and friends. However, whether raw or cold dishes will spoil, eating with strangers is not good for the health of others. I’m familiar with it and I don’t use serving chopsticks, so I won’t choose to take it away in such a situation. Some citizens rarely take away leftovers because they “don’t have much food left,” “find it troublesome,” or “for the sake of face.”
"Building a beautiful China and realizing the sustainable development of the Chinese nation" is our common vision. "Sustainable development" not only comes from the "open source" method of production and creation, but also from the "spending" method of the people's diligence and frugality. As a new generation of young people with ideals and ambitions, we should develop the habit of thrift, be diligent and thrifty, and advocate fashion.
1. Learn to cherish and be a practitioner of environmental protection and conservation
"One meal and one porridge should be remembered that it is not easy to come from; half a thread and half a strand, always remember the material difficulties." Behind every piece of food lies hard work and resource consumption. Our ancestors regarded diligence and frugality as a precious tradition, and we should not discard it at any time.
Diligence and frugality are not just a slogan for us, but are actually reflected in our three meals a day. According to reports, the amount of food wasted in college cafeterias in my country is staggering every year. The food wasted by 30 million college students in a year is equivalent to the food of 10 million people in a year! I hope that we can always cherish the thought of cherishing food and order food according to the amount; develop good eating habits, not be picky about food, and not overeat; love science, distinguish right from wrong, and not believe in rumors about food safety issues; and lead the people around us to Together we cherish food and protect hard-won available resources.
2. Understand the national conditions and be a transmitter of the concept of frugality
Our country uses 7-8% of the world’s arable land to feed 1/5 of the world’s population. In order to produce more food, we use more than 60% of the country's water, 1/3 of the world's fertilizers and 1/4 of the pesticides. Despite this, there is still a 10% food deficit every year.
At the same time, as the most basic material in people's lives, food has a high proportion of loss or waste during its production and consumption. Among them, the proportion of waste in the catering industry exceeds 10%. Most of these wastes are caused by people's lack of awareness of frugality and scientific diet knowledge: ordering excessive amounts of food just to show off, eating and drinking without regard for nutritional balance, believing in rumors and picky eaters...
Dear classmates, we We should not forget that we still have more than 100 million rural poverty alleviation targets, tens of millions of urban people living on subsistence allowances, and numerous folks with family difficulties; we should not forget that resource shortages are still the bottleneck restricting my country's sustainable development; we We should not forget that our per capita GDP is still behind the 100th place in the world. Moving forward based on the national conditions of a large population and a weak foundation, we cannot tolerate luxury and waste at any time. We must establish the concept of diligence and frugality, understand the current situation of the country, learn scientific diet knowledge, integrate the concept of "scientific diet, say goodbye to waste" into our words and deeds, and preach and pass on the concept of "why to save food and how to save food" Give to more people around you.
3. Clear ambitions and be the leader of ecological civilization
"Looking at the virtuous countries and families in the past, success was achieved through diligence and frugality, and luxury was destroyed." As someone who has grown up in the spring breeze of reform and opening up, College students who shoulder the historical responsibility of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we are the hope and future of our motherland. Building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way cannot be separated from the construction of ecological civilization; the construction of ecological civilization cannot be separated from the efforts of you and me.
As contemporary college students, we must not only take the initiative to practice diligence and thrift, use the knowledge we have learned, spread scientific knowledge, and let more people understand the pressure our current ecological environment is facing and the consequences of extravagance and waste; On this basis, we should also clarify our ambitions, grow from small to big, transform the knowledge and skills we have learned into social wealth, practice frugality and put an end to extravagance and waste, achieve increased revenue and expenditure, integrate knowledge and action, and lead new social trends.
