Don't Waste Food! Entry #9
Wasting food is a problem not many people talk about.
In this website, it focuses on teaching students to not waste food and other things about helping the world. This specific lesson is designed for teachers so that they can make fun activities for their students to learn about the importance of saving food!I think that it is very important that this gets talked about in school. I think it is important because habits start at an early age and it is vital that children understand that wasting food is not okay. Teaching this to young children could even break the bad habits at home and they could possibly teach a parent about the importance of saving food.
This poster created by World Wild Life, is created for students. As you can see it is children's arms holding food trays. What I liked most about the poster was the context. "Take What You Want. EAT WHAT YOU TAKE". This means literally ONLY get or buy what you will eat.
This is not only a problem in children as it also is a problem in adults. However, children usually are more picky by nature. That is why I find it important that it gets talked about to children in grade school. This poster can really be for anybody. Wasting food is not okay. I have always been taught this from a young age. Not only do I feel that it is morally not okay, it also is not good for the environment. An increase of greenhouse gasses happen due to the waste of food. How do we grow food? With water! Just imagine how much water we are wasting by growing crops that won't get ate.
I thought discussing this would be interesting because we often talk about how some of our foods are made very unhealthy but we don't often talk about how we also waste a lot of our food.
Websites like these are very good to learn and to teach about problems in our world. This specific issue on food wasting is one that I feel like should be taught to not only children but all people. Remember, "EAT WHAT YOU TAKE".
