购买 "丑果":我们从纽约气候周中学到的东西
购买丑陋的水果和蔬菜
上周在纽约市举行的气候周活动非常繁忙。这项一年一度的活动汇聚了来自企业、非营利组织和政府的全球领袖,共同推动气候承诺,建设清洁、包容的全球经济。
在这一周里,我们有机会参与了广泛的讨论。从推动创新以鼓励低碳经济,到改革食品政策,以及建立更多的公私合作伙伴关系,从而产生对我们的环境产生积极影响的解决方案。
重要的是要记住,我们面临的挑战是巨大的,但绝对是可以解决的。在 1 Hotels我们相信,您每天都可以做一些事情来帮助产生影响。从哪里开始呢?那么,巨大的改变可以从我们每个人在饮食方面做出小小的改变开始。
One startling fact: almost half of all fruits and vegetables produced are wasted.
Food loss and waste is a large contributor to biodiversity loss, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and cost about $940 billion a year to the global economy.2 It goes beyond just the food, to also a waste of resources – think about all that is needed just to make a head of lettuce – land, seed, planting, watering and nutrients, harvesting, transporting, etc. And, with nearly 800 million people worldwide suffering from hunger, we waste enough to feed every one of them more than twice over.
以下是您可以提供的帮助:
- Buy what you need, and try to buy local.
- 吃剩的残渣可以用来做另一顿饭,也可以冷冻起来做成冰沙或汤,还可以堆肥。
- 向当地食品银行捐赠。
- 在餐厅用餐时,要求把剩菜剩饭带回家。
- If your office has a dining hall or cafeteria, try not to use a tray. Studies show it helps decrease food waste.
- 购买难看的水果和蔬菜,带点伤痕的苹果或橙子味道更好,因为你也知道自己在尽一份力,不浪费。
