Freegans against supermarket waste

It is World Food Day on 16th October, so the local freegan group is organizing protest actions against food waste.

Who are we?

We, freegans, believe that it is wrong to throw food away when millions of people are hungry. We get most of our food from supermarket waste bins because we want to draw attention to this unacceptable food waste scandal.

The facts

Over one third of all food supplies end up as waste and much of this waste occurs before food reaches the shops. Supermarkets can force farmers to throw away up to 40% of their crops if they are imperfect - not all the same size or not looking nice. A UK survey has shown that each year our shops waste over six million tonnes of food and a lot of it is perfectly safe to eat, including:

• 48 million pots of yoghurt
• 1.6 billion apples
• 2.6 billion slices of bread

What we want

We aren't against supermarkets, we just want them to change their insensitive attitude and reduce all this unnecessary waste. They should:

• Say exactly how much food they throw away and try to reduce it.
• Give the food to charities which distribute it to poor people.
• Sell fruit and vegetables that don't look perfect.

What you can do

Supermarkets won't change if only a few people protest. If we all boycott the supermarkets, they'll listen to us. You'll find more information and an online petition if you look on our website.

We need support for our campaign. Become a volunteer or just spread the word. Come to the public meeting and share your ideas!

1. Что происходит на фотографиях?

2. Почему супермаркеты выбрасывают так много еды?

3. Кто такие фриганы?

Ответ:

1. The photos show people protesting against food waste. Some are taking edible food from supermarket bins, while others are sorting food, likely for charity.

На фотографиях показаны люди, протестующие против пищевых отходов. Некоторые достают съедобную еду из мусорных баков супермаркетов, в то время как другие сортируют еду, вероятно, для благотворительности.

2. Supermarkets throw away so much food because they force farmers to discard crops that are "imperfect" — not all the same size or not looking nice.

Супермаркеты выбрасывают так много еды, потому что заставляют фермеров избавляться от урожая, который является «неидеальным» — не одинакового размера или некрасиво выглядит.

3. Freegans are people who believe it is wrong to waste food. They get their food from supermarket waste bins to draw public attention to the food waste scandal.

Фриганы — это люди, которые считают, что выбрасывать еду неправильно. Они добывают себе еду из мусорных баков супермаркетов, чтобы привлечь внимание общественности к скандалу, связанному с пищевыми отходами.
