what is food wastage?

Food wastage is when you waste food. The amount of food you waste also effects global warming in some way, by filling up landfill space with food dose not make anyone happy, especially the ones who cant get food. Did you know places like Africa and Asia have allot of deaths, and this usually happens from starvation. You my think throwing half of an apple into a bin is okay, because it isn't as big as a piece of roasted chicken, well for me it is the same thing they will be going to the landfills anyway. Me as a team isn't telling you too give all your leftovers to Africa and Asia, maybe just donate some money so they could buy their own food. Did you know if you sent £50 pounds to Africa or Asia, you would have given them enough money to eat for a month.

what is water wastage?

Water wastage is when you waste water. For example filling a cup with water, drinking half of it and spilling the rest down the sink. Have you ever wandered how many people in Africa and Asia walk to oceans just to collect water? How many miles they walk there and back? The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water from oceans is six kilometres, the weight of each bucket of water they carry on there heads are 20 kg- which is the same as an average airport luggage. Even today 1.1 billion people still do not have adequate access to clean and safe water and 2.4 billion people are with out appropriate sanitation. You might think the water you don't drink someone else drinks but no one does, that water comes back to you again, but you waste it over and over again.
