[Explanation] Recently, Jiangxi Province Catering Industry Association issued an initiative to stop food waste and promote the virtue of conservation. In the past few days, various places in Jiangxi have frequently made coups to lead the new trend of strict economy.

  Hukou County in Jiangxi Province took the lead in advocating small bowls of dishes in the government canteen, taking the lead in saving, rejecting waste, and creating an atmosphere of shame in waste and pride in saving.

  What we did before was a buffet mode. Since we changed the small bowl of dishes, our process may be more cumbersome than before, and the manpower has also increased. However, from the cost of ingredients and the cadre’s meal standards, both aspects are There are savings, especially in the aspect of food waste, which used to be poured out bucket by bucket before. Now there is basically no waste. From this aspect, there is really a big improvement, in terms of saving food.

  In addition, the campus cafeteria of Jiangxi University of Science and Technology has been coup against the problem of "food waste". The canteen encourages students to save food by carrying out the CD-for-fruit action. As long as the students liquidate the food, they can get a fruit after the meal.

  I think (this activity) is still very meaningful. First of all, we can get a fruit. We can balance our diet. The most important thing is that we can develop a good habit of diligence and thrift. After all, diligence and thrift are our traditional Chinese virtues.

  It is understood that the canteen has carried out the "CD for fruits" activity since 2013, advocating students to consciously participate in the "CD Action" to save food.
