Love Food, Hate Waste!

"Take what you need and use what you take." Food is not just rice and wheat but also the fruit of labour of hundreds and thousands of those who have toiled under the scorching sun to grow the food. Cooked food also involves lot of energy, time, transportation and fuel. By wasting food, we are wasting lot of resources and also causing harm to the environment India is home to the largest number of hungry people. Almost 40 per cent of food is wasted in the country which would be enough to feed almost 300 million people every year. The data from the Municipal Solid Waste Characterization Report says food makes up the largest per cent of waste going into municipal landfills. So lets take a vow today "to put in our plate only that much which we can eat, so that even a single grain may not go waste"
