Global photojournalism annual report

"After cutting the grain at noon, sweat dripped into the soil. Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard. " This is a poem that China people are familiar with. But now, the rich seem to have forgotten the essence of this poem.

Going to the canteen to eat, although the slogan "save food and cherish food" is posted on the wall, is useless to many diners. Many canteens and restaurants have slop buckets full of food wasted by people, and most of those glistening steamed buns have only eaten half or even a few mouthfuls; There is a lot of rice on the dining table, with 1/3 left, and some have more than half left. Many leftovers hardly touched chopsticks. People throw away the leftovers conveniently and indifferently, and they don't care. According to the survey, the annual waste of protein and fat in Chinese restaurants is as high as 8 million tons and 3 million tons respectively, which is equivalent to dumping the annual rations of 200 million people, not including the loss and waste in planting, collection, transportation, storage, sales and processing. What an amazing number this is!

People who waste food can always list various reasons. Some said: now that the living standard has improved, it's nothing to pour leftovers; Some people say: what kind of waste are we? Some people waste more than us! There are even people who are amazing: "Eating and drinking is not a waste, this is called * * * consumption!" Many people think that the slogan of "preserving honor and abolishing shame" has long been out of date.

Do we really have enough food to save and squander?

In fact, the population of China exceeds 1 300 million, but the per capita arable land is insufficient1. 5 acres, only the world average 1/4. The per capita arable land in Haikou, Sanya and other places in our province is even less than 0. Eight acres. Such valuable cultivated land is disappearing at the rate of one million mu per year, and the ratio of population to cultivated land is seriously unbalanced. Although most people in China have solved the problem of food and clothing, there are still nearly 1. 300 million people live below the poverty line, and the average daily living expenses are only 6. 3 yuan, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

According to the annual report issued by FAO and WFP, more than 800 million people were hungry in 2008, and the number of hungry people in the world rose to 9 in 20 10. 2.5 billion, 1 of every 7 people in the world are still hungry, and a child dies of hunger every 6 seconds.

I have seen a work that won the Pulitzer Prize for photojournalism in the United States. Its name is Hungry Sudan. In the photo, a vulture stared at a Sudanese girl who was starving to death and fell to the ground, waiting for her to peck after her death. The girl's big head doesn't match her thin body. She fell to the ground, unable to resist.

What a shocking picture this is! What a sad contrast!

"Building a beautiful China and realizing the sustainable development of the Chinese nation" is our common vision. As a new generation of young people with ideals and ambitions, we should form a good habit of saving and be thrifty.

First of all, we must learn to cherish and be a practitioner of environmental protection and conservation. "It is not easy to think about a meal and a porridge; Half a silk and half a wisp, it is difficult to save material resources. " Behind every kind of food is hard work and resource consumption. I hope we can cherish the idea of ordering food on demand forever; Develop good eating habits; Drive people around us to cherish food with us and protect hard-won available resources.

Secondly, we should understand the national conditions and be the transmitter of the concept of thrift. Dear students, let's not forget that we still have more than 100 million rural poverty alleviation targets, tens of millions of urban low-income people and a large number of elderly people with financial difficulties; We should not forget that the shortage of resources is a huge problem that restricts the sustainable development of China; Starting from our large population and weak foundation, there is no room for extravagance and waste at any time.

Third, be diligent and cultivate one's morality, and be the leader of ecological civilization. Some people think that saving at the dinner table will not lose face and make people feel shabby. In fact, this concept is really all wet. In Switzerland, with the highest per capita income in Europe and the highest living standard in the world, it has become the consensus of the whole society to be cautious and save glory. The ancients said, "frugality is the way to cultivate one's morality." Thrift is an important way to cultivate a person's moral quality. Thrift is not only shameful, but also a manifestation of a person's high quality and a very glorious act.

"Look at the former sages and their families, they became thrifty and were defeated by luxury." Students, we are the hope and future of the motherland, and building a well-off society in an all-round way cannot be separated from the construction of ecological civilization; The construction of ecological civilization cannot be separated from your efforts. Save resources and live a healthy life. Let's start with cherishing food!
