The biggest benefit of reducing food waste is clear — over 10 percent of US households experience food insecurity, and giving food that’s safe but destined for those landfills to those in need could help millions lead healthier, better lives.

But there’s another benefit of reducing food waste, and the EPA recently shined a spotlight on it in a news report: “The Environmental Impacts of U.S. Food Waste.”. “This uneaten food results in a ‘waste’ of resources—including agricultural land, water, pesticides, fertilizers, and energy—and environmental impacts—including greenhouse gas emissions and climate change,” the authors write in the report.

According to the EPA, food waste accounts for 2 percent of US greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, meat accounts for nearly 60% of greenhouse gases produced from food production, study finds.

The EPA report authors argue that there are great disproportionate benefits to reducing animal product waste. That’s because animal products typically require much more land, water, and energy — and emit more of the greenhouse gases carbon and methane — than plant-based foods such as vegetables.

How can we waste less meat at home?

“A lot of people think their food is bad when it’s actually still perfectly good to eat,” Dana Gunders, executive director of ReFED, told me. “Don’t get me wrong! I’m not saying that these date labels are useless. The dates on food indicate when something is of top quality or it’s freshest, but they’re not telling you the food is bad or that you can’t eat it’’. Her advice? “If it looks fine, smells fine, and tastes fine, it’s okay to eat.”

Can’t eat it soon? Put it in the freezer. “Freezers are a magic pause button,” Gunders said.

Also, plan ahead. “If you can, sketch out an accurate plan of your week.” Gunders said. ‘I know that it will prevent you from buying unnecessary products and waste time on thinking about what to eat. But the true reason here is because shopping is where you commit to the food regardless of whether you eat it or not.” The responsibilities should also be shouldered by retailers and manufacturers. Harvard experts suggest requiring manufacturers that choose to use the phrase “best if used by,” and reserve “expires on” for more high-risk foods. Furthermore, passing laws that ban food from landfills would be useful. This motivates businesses to donate more unsold food and work harder to prevent waste.

A big change

“Everyone can see what’s happening, they just don’t know what it is costing them,” Bruce Taylor of Enviro- Stewards once said. He estimates significant food waste in many food processing facilities. These employees, despite their awareness of the situation, are just used to inefficient processes and faulty machinery. It can take an observer — him, in this example — to come in and notice waste, put a dollar value on it, and suggest small changes that can save money and efficiency. In one example, his employees at a lobster processing factory pulled what was left off each lobster at the end of the processing line, which amounted to around $350,000 a year.

That growing global population will also likely be eating more meat, and in the short term at least, much of it will likely come from factory farms. Food waste reduction will be an important tool in mitigating the number of animals slaughtered— and the system’s immense environmental and ethical toll.

21. According to the EPA, how much percent does meat account for in the amount of greenhouse gases from food waste?

A. nearly two percent

B. one-third

C. almost two-thirds

D. over 10 percent

22. What does Dana Gunders say about the date labels on food?

A. The dates are an indicator of whether or not the food is still edible.

B. Many people follow the labels and throw food away even when it is still good to eat.

C. The date labels are useless and consumers should not believe them.

D. We can know when the food is best used by looking at these dates.

23. According to Dana Gunders, why should we outline an eating plan for the whole week?

A. Because we will automatically commit ourselves to finishing the food that we buy.

B. Because it saves the time spent on deciding what to eat.

C. Because it will help consumers to spend less money on buying unnecessary products.

D. Because it will encourage us to eat at home more.

24. Which solution to reducing food waste is NOT mentioned in the paragraph?

A. imposing legal restrictions

B.putting special phrases on food which is high-risk

C.motivating manufacturers to donate unsold food

D. making a plan

25. What can best explain the attitude of the employees at the company observed by Bruce Taylor?

A. They refuse to change their faulty system even though they are aware of the problems.

B. They are aware of the problems but they are used to them.

C. They are fully aware of the problems and wish to take actions against food waste.

D.They are too inexperienced and incompetent to follow changes.

Renewable energy is the future

Most of our energy comes from fossil fuels. Burning them increases the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. If we continue to use fossil fuels the way we do now, we will soon run (26)                                                                                                               of them.

Fortunately, we no longer have to depend only on fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas. We can use renewable energy from sources such as wind, rain, waves, and sunlight, which can be replaced (27)

                    . In addition, such energy has a low environmental impact. Renewable energy used to be very expensive. In recent years, (28) , it has become cheaper and easier to produce thanks to technological advances.

Wind energy is one of the cleanest and most sustainable type of energy. It does not release carbon emissions and is entirely renewable as there will always be wind. Solar power is the most (29)                                                                                                  source of renewable energy. It exists in large quantities and is freely available. It is also completely renewable as the sun will keep on shining. Hydropower, a form of renewable energy that uses the force of fast-moving water to produce electricity, is even more reliable than solar or wind power.

There are other types of renewable energy available. In the future, we will need to use more renewable energy sources to (30)                                               our energy needs and reduce the negative impact of global warming.

26. A. across	B. into	C. out	D. away
27. A. naturally	B. carefully	C. normally	D. finally
28. A. however	B. in addition	C. in short	D. actually
