The waiter was fined for not labeling the garbage after the hotel meeting.

Diligence and thrift are our traditional virtues, especially in today's era of tight resources, thrift should be everyone's conditioned reflex, from a grain of rice to a bottle of water, which is worth cherishing.

Recently, however, a hotel was punished and warned for failing to post an anti-food waste sign after a meeting, and the service staff also discarded 43 unopened bottles of bottled water, which attracted a hot discussion among netizens.

Some people think that saving should start with small things, and hotel catering has the obligation to supervise and remind and should be punished; Others think that the service staff only follow the rules of the hotel, and it is even more unacceptable to sell the products that have been sold but not used again.

So, is this problem a mountain out of a molehill or should it be saved?

1, saving is no small matter.

Saving is a long-term habit, and it is a "tall building" accumulated by every little thing saved. It seems that there are only dozens of bottles of water, but it is indispensable for sustainable development.

There is nothing to make a fuss about saving. It is economical to unscrew the tap after use, and it is economical to eat all the food. These things are small, but sticking to them is a big deal.

So this behavior of the hotel is really inappropriate, but it is also true that the habit of saving has not been developed. We still have a long way to go to build an economical society.

2. It is better to implement it than to punish it.

Punishment and warning have played a certain role, and supervision and publicity are also conducive to the spread of the concept of saving, but in the final analysis, the way is to vigorously implement the saving action and not let the so-called "CD Action" become a few slogans.

For example, there is a fine for self-help requests, but there are always consumers who try their best to deal with food that they can't eat; You can eat as much as you want in the canteen, but who knows how much you can eat before eating? In fact, it takes a little brain to form the habit of saving.

3. More importantly, clear ideas for improvement.

As far as meeting water is concerned, it can be changed into a small package that is convenient for meeting drinking, or the organizer can be required to take back the remaining unopened water after settlement, or use these unopened water for mopping the floor and watering flowers to give full play to the remaining value.

"Who knows that every meal is hard?" In this generation, we have never experienced any hard times. We don't know the hard-won food, clothing, housing and transportation, and of course we don't know the significance of cherishing and saving.

Instead of obsessing about the right and wrong of making a mountain out of a molehill and saving, think about when you stopped caring about a grain of rice and a drop of water. When saving becomes everyone's habit, saving will not become an empty talk, but a traditional virtue that will continue to be passed down.
