Stop Membuang Sisa Makanan Jika Tidak Ingin Hal ini Terjadi

Summary

Each year, about 30% of the food purchased globally is wasted, equating to 1.3 billion tons or 14,000 trillion Rupiah. In Indonesia, 13 million tons of food waste could feed 28 million people. Food waste harms the environment, depleting water, destroying forests, and contributing to global warming through methane emissions. To reduce waste, we can buy smaller quantities, store food properly, and follow the '8028' principle: 80% for personal use, 20% to share. By making mindful choices, we can reduce waste and create a more meaningful, sustainable future.
