Wastage

This is an issue that’s very close to my heart. So close, in fact that it tends to prey on my conscience.

Please don’t waste. Whatever it is. Food, water, petrol, money – they are all in short supply.

Particularly food.

The cavalier attitude with which people treat food astonishes me.If you don’t like the food somewhere, don’t go there. If you feel won’t be able to last another round at the dining table, don’t fill your plate up.Complete that glass of water which you sipped at lunch.

Small things that we don’t bother to care about!

There are more important issues than the mindless drudgery that we go through everday.

Think of the difficulties faced by farmers all over the world to give us the rice that we eat.

Think of the children dying by the hour,  of extreme poverty and hunger.

We cannot save the world, I agree.

We cannot spend a billion dollars like Bill Gates on community service.

But we can stop being frivolous by putting an end to our appalling wasting habits.

Please adopt the resolution ” I will not waste indiscriminately “

Remember, small resolutions such as these make a big difference to you and the world.

Eventually they matter more than that billion dollars.
