An Awakening That Is Still Not Too Late

It was most heartening to see these two notices during my trip to China. The first one is a timely reminder that trees are precious. Indeed they are, in more ways than one.

 The other was in a restaurant.  Many people still waste food. On the buffet line, they will pile their dishes high with food, heedless of whether they can consume it all.  In fact a lot is left behind on the plates to be discarded later. It’s such a shame that food is wasted unnecessarily while others are dying of starvation.

Let’s hope that more restaurants will put up such notices to remind people not to waste food. It helps to remember that while we enjoy the lavish spread laid out before us, there are others who are less fortunate and may not even have a square meal once a day.
