Food waste has become a big problem in China.According to Xinhua News Agency, the food waste by Chinese people equates to about 50 million tons of grain every year or 10 percent of the country’s total annual grain production.This food could feed another 200 million people.
Qi Haoran, a Junion9 student was quite busy over the past winter holiday, and not just with homework.Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign(“光盘行动).
The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food.“Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat.Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
The Clean Your Plant Campaign began on the Internet in January.It calls on people to reduce food waste.
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的)and generous.Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.
Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many people.More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers(剩饭剩菜)home.In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner give the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker.People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers.

My parents taught me not to waste food. My mum always found ways to make leftovers(剩余食物) taste good. I went to YiLan to learn about some of their special food. As I was there, I learned about the food and the history of the area. I learned that they don’t waste food, either, and they use leftovers!
Many years ago, there was not enough food for everyone. People learned to cook and eat almost everything. They had to think of ways to make special dishes. One of these dishes is kao zha.It made with leftovers like
meat, soup, oil and fat. That might not sound very good, but it does taste good.
Today, kao zha is a special dish at big banquets (宴会). Another famous dish is called zao bing.
It’s made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didn’t want to eat too much. It has a
lot of fat in it. I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the YiLan area duck meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉) to cook it. Smoke keeps the meat fresh. I don’t
usually eat meat, but this duck meat was delicious! It tasted sweet. YiLan is a great place with delicious food. I hope I can come back again!Thewriterlearnsfromherparents_______.
