In some countries, people waste a lot of food that they buy in shops and restaurants. Why do people waste food? What can we do to reduce the waste?

It has long been a matter of conjecture what makes people throw away a large quantity of

food

while some are still in good condition. To me, it is both advertising from

food

shops and people’s extravagant habit that have contributed to

this

phenomenon. And I do have several concrete suggestions that could be implemented to curb

this

problem

. The

is the influence of advertisements from grocery stores, which entice the general public to buy more than they need. And in other way round, when these consumers go home, what they have to do is to discard the provisions in refrigerators to make way for the new arrivals, though many of those abandoned are still within expiration date. One convincing

is the extravagant lifestyle of younger generations.

For example

, when visiting a restaurant, many opt to other more than they can eat.

As a result

this

, multiple measures need to be initiated by both the government and businesses.

Firstly

, the authority could launch awareness campaigns to publicize the importance of thrift, which aims at those impulsive housewives who are usually infatuated with the flyers from grocery stores. Meanwhile, some incentives in restaurants may play their part, meaning that those places could offer coupons or discounts to encourage customers to pack the leftovers. To sum up, the waste of

food

is a complicated issue with both personal and business reasons, which need to be dealt with by multifaceted solutions, from increasing the public consciousness to regulating

food

businesses. Only by doing so, can

this

be properly addressed
