Today’s Project − Tomorrow’s Future

Today, billions of tons of almost expired canned foods are dumped from supermarkets and restaurants in the USA, which makes the country the world’s number one of food waste although its population is far behind that of China and India. The completely opposite thing happens in Africa every day where millions of people are seriously short of food. For a better future world without food waste and hunger, a project called Save The Food was first carried out by a group of college students in Arkansas, the USA.

When canned foods’ expiry dates are coming, supermarkets and grocery stores must throw them away because not many customers would want to buy the canned foods that are about to expire. However, if the foods are cooked a few days before they expire, they are considered safe to eat. Save The Food Project collects those kinds of canned foods before they are got rid of and makes delicious dishes in their small restaurants. The customers can pay as much as they can or eat a meal for free. Some of the local homeless can volunteer to work as waiters and serve other poor customers in return for a meal or some food to bring home. The project has helped to take care of hundreds of homeless and poor people. More people have taken part in the project to do the same thing in their hometowns. Almost 10,000 poor people have been helped every day up to now.

Inspired by Save The Food Project, lots of people in different countries have come up with similar projects for their local communities. They have been so successful that lots of people strongly believe that that kind of today’s project is a highly effective solution to fight pollution and homelessness as well as help the poor for the better future world.
