Food and the environment

by Thawdar Aung | 01-01-2020 02:38


We eat to live and we think we are gonna live for years as we eat properly in a day. We were wrong. If we ignore the relation between food we consume and the environment we live in, our next generations will definitely be affected by our false. What were we doing wrong?



Whenever we go to local market or may be supermarket, we buy things 80% of what we really need and the rest of 20% we buy unnecessary stuffs. Before we go to market, mostly we already thought what we want to buy to cook, to wear, to eat or to drink but when we see a thing that catch our eyes, we decide immediately to buy it without any consideration.  Whenever I go out shopping with my family and when we stop in front of food and beverages counter, I want to buy drinks and foods that I see attractive and delicious. However, I do not have any appetite to eat them anymore when we get home. After some time, those foods were expired and I have to throw it away. What else can I do instead of throwing away? But now, I am educated by seeing how leftover food and wasting food affects the environment, I abandoned that bad habit. Additionally, when we eat meals, we should add cooked rice ( if you are form ASEAN country, cooked rice is the main one, right? ) as just amount we need. Think about the farmers that work hard under sun heat, under rain to grow rice fields for us.

 

 Our leftover food will finally affect the climate change, greenhouse gas by emitting methane gas. Wasting food is the environmental problem. So, change your habit, change for the healthy earth.
