. There's been a lot of talk lately about climate change and caring for the planet. Unfortunately, we people only contribute our two cents to environmental degradation. Norway helps those in need and encourages, among other things, sharing food. To give you an idea of the scale of the problem, the average Pole wastes 235 kg of food every year. These are the results of a study conducted for the Federation of Polish Food Banks. Not wasting food and taking care of what is on our plates in everyday life is a real necessity today. Fires, droughts, disasters and catastrophes mean that our planet will start producing less. We need to announce this.
Norway helps the needy and cares for the planet. We take matters into our own hands.
One of the residents of Norway appealed to her profiles not to throw away uneaten fruit, e.g. apples. She appealed that fruit that we are unable to process should be hung on the fence. Hungry and poor people will surely be happy to help themselves.
Food sharing and the law
Do you remember an unusual situation from Poland? One bakery owner, out of good heart, decided to share his food with those in need. Unfortunately, it cost him dearly, he had to pay a fine. Legal regulations in Poland, and probably also in other countries, mean that the owners of shops and supermarkets, even if they have unused food, are afraid to help, because the consequences can be very painful for their budget, pockets, and even for the future of their company ...
Norway helps those in need - sensitivity and empathy, so needed in the modern world ...
We have to start with ourselves ... Help on a private and individual basis. Such small gestures have power and are a perfect example for others. Food waste is a global problem. You need not only empathy, change of habits, but also greater awareness. What can we do?
- only buy as much food as you eat, it's best to make a shopping list,
- store food well, pay attention to packaging,
- if you haven't eaten something, share with those in need.
