On the 30th of “Food Loss Reduction Day”, a unique event was held in Tokyo to learn about efforts to reduce food loss while visiting a garbage disposal site.

The “Food Loss Reduction Promotion Law”, which came into effect on the 1st of this month, has designated October 30 as “Food Loss Reduction Day”, which encourages people to deepen their understanding.

On the 30th, the first “Food Loss Reduction Day,” an event was held in Koto Ward, Tokyo, where a waste disposal site from households, etc., was reclaimed and food loss was considered. People participated.

Participants first learned how to reduce food loss at home and the “Food Bank” initiative to provide food to people who have difficulty living, and then moved to a garbage disposal site by bus.

Then, we visited a pile of garbage piled up to a height of more than 10 meters over an hour and a new landfill for disposal of the sea.

And, when the explanation was received from the person in charge of the disposal site that garbage will be filled at the current pace, it will be full in about 50 years even if the new disposal site is included, people who participated nodded with serious expressions It was.

A woman in her 60s said, “I was stunned by seeing a pile of garbage that was actually landfilled. First of all, I would like to arrange refrigerators so that they do n’t buy too much because they are cheap.”
