Reading 11 Read the text. How can food waste be used positively? (2 marks) __________________________________________ __________________________________________ The average UK family throws away about 24 meals a month. This amounts to about 4.2 million tonnes of food and drink a year. Almost half of this food goes directly from fridges or cupboards into the bin. About 60% of this waste is thrown away before its ‘use by’ date. The top three foods that end up in the bin are bread, potatoes and milk. In order to solve this problem, the UK government has started a campaign to reduce food waste. Food producers, shops, restaurants and consumers are being encouraged to work together to stop food waste. Consumers are advised to consider quantities and not buy too much food because of discounts. Food waste companies work with businesses to reduce food wastage and maximize use from any food waste. Some restaurants and supermarkets deliver any unsold food to homeless shelters and food banks. Food banks were set up to help feed the growing number of people affected by poverty. These food banks collect food donated by businesses or the general public. People who need emergency supplies are given food at the banks. As we attempt to solve this serious problem, more possible solutions are being tried out; for example, some local councils are using food waste from homes and businesses to produce energy and heat. Burying food waste underground increases the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and, as a result, speeds up global warming. By taking action now and reducing food waste and converting it into energy, we won’t only protect the planet, but we’ll also save billions of pounds.
