I didn’t know that
6000 tons of food is discarded every day in Tokyo until I read this article. Charles
McJilton, a NGO staff, has been working to reduce the amount food waste and
provide food product to some places. Second Harvest Japan has also provided
food to disaster areas in Tohoku since March 11 2011.
According to CNN, Japan
has very high standard to demand, so even if a product has a little damage, it
cannot be sold.
There are many
people around the globe who don't have enough to eat. On the other hand, the Japanese
people tend to leave large amount of food. We should remember that and
encourage to reduce the amount of food waste.
I thought that these ways are waste. I thought
I’m lucky because I want to join the activities of Second Harvest Japan, so I’m
really looking forward to listen to his lecture.
I'm so glad to see that you researched the activities of 2HJ very well and could anticipate the talk by Mr. McJilton better. Hopefully, his lecture will make many students (and ME TOO) feel that we want to volunteer for 2HJ's activities. Already some AGU teachers and students are participating in them. Apparently, one need not make a long-term commitment. It seems to be possible just to join some weekend food distribution project or to help out once or twice with office-related work. Of course, they would appreciate help on a more regular basis as well.
