"Wasted food" is food that is unspoiled, nutritious, and wholesome but is disposed or thrown away. This food may come from cafeterias, restaurants, factories, or grocery stores. By reducing the wastage of such food, we can help the environment in many ways. When we throw away good food, resources such as labor, gasoline, water, fertilizers, land, and energy are wasted as well. This means that by throwing away consumable food, we are throwing away helpful resources as well. Also, when good food is dumped in landfills, the nutrients in the food are not absorbed by the soil, and instead, the food rots and produces a gas called methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas that heats up the atmosphere and is one of the major causes of global warming.
Some of the ways in which we can stop the wastage of consumable food and resources is by finding ways to stop disposing of food in the first place. By donating consumable food to non-profit government organizations (NGOs), we can feed the poor and hungry and keep them from starving. Composting, which is a method of decomposition of solid waste, helps to convert food into manure that is free of chemicals. This is another way which helps to convert good food into manure that can be used in place of harmful chemical fertilizers for crops. Understanding the importance of not wasting good food and using appropriate measures to avoid wastage of food is a step toward saving our planet.

Read the excerpt from hemingway’s a farewell to arms. we parked the cars beyond the brickyard. the ovens and some deep holes had been equipped as dressing stations. there were three doctors that i knew. i talked with the major and learned that when it should start and our cars should be loaded we would drive them back along the screened road and up to the main road along the ridge where there would be a post and other cars to clear them. which best describes hemingway’s style of writing in the excerpt? straightforward and simple, while still relating a lot of information to the reader long-winded and offering far too much information to the reader overly complicated, making it difficult to interpret and understand the text effortless and uncomplicated, with little meaning for the reader to interpret
