Reusing food and keeping benevolence at the forefront

Witnessing the massive amount of food and resources wasted all the time, Taiwan Food Bank Association decided to launch an initiative in which foodstuffs are meticulously collected and sorted before being delivered to people in need.

Overly focusing on freshness and the appearance of food, or downright greed, all contribute to waste. By paying more attention to our everyday decisions, we can avoid squandering valuable resources. For example, when eating your school lunch or a buffet, taking your fill and no more can significantly reduce the amount of food waste.

In addition to helping people, Taiwan Food Bank Association is also actively promoting many food-savvy ideas. By reusing food, we can ensure that many people living in the margins of society can get a warm meal in their belly each day. If we could all muster a little more empathy and love, many more people in need could receive the help they need.

以下為中文對照

糧食和資源的浪費無時無刻發生在你我身邊，食物銀行便開始發起良品再利用的善行。將還可利用或食用的良品重新整理，透過單位的收集和審核，轉送給需要幫助的人。

有部分人常因追求新鮮度、商品外觀或是貪小便宜造成浪費。平時多一分注意便能減少浪費的產生。例如在夾取營養午餐或自助餐時，只夾自己可負荷的量，不貪小便宜，即可減少廚餘的產生。

除了平時幫助他人外，也積極的想將這樣的理念推廣出去。簡單的良品再利用，就可以讓許多人又溫飽一頓。在能力範圍內，若能多一點同理心和愛心透過不同的單位，便能讓有需要的人能得到最大的幫助。
