外賣平臺(tái)推出“半份菜”服務(wù)

引言：近來，可以感覺到，節(jié)約糧食的呼聲是越來越高。

據(jù)2018年中國科學(xué)院地理科學(xué)與資源研究所和世界自然基金會(huì)聯(lián)合發(fā)布的《中國城市餐飲食物浪費(fèi)報(bào)告》顯示，2015年中國城市餐飲業(yè)僅餐桌食物浪費(fèi)量就在1700萬至1800萬噸之間，相當(dāng)于3000萬至5000萬人一年的食物量。

從場所和群體來看，大型餐館、游客群體、中小學(xué)生群體、公務(wù)聚餐等是餐飲食物浪費(fèi)的“重災(zāi)區(qū)”。

《經(jīng)濟(jì)日報(bào)》的記者調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)“光盤難”與民眾的餐飲消費(fèi)觀念、生活習(xí)慣、餐飲企業(yè)管理等諸多因素都有關(guān)。

對此，近來外賣平臺(tái)，諸如餓了么和美團(tuán)外賣，都紛紛拿出了對策來倡導(dǎo)節(jié)約糧食。

Last week Meituan co-published a proposal with a number of business organizations， including the China General Chamber of Commerce and China Cuisine Association， calling on restaurants to stop food waste and help cultivate new eating habits for customers.

上周，美團(tuán)與包括中國商業(yè)聯(lián)合會(huì)和中國烹飪協(xié)會(huì)在內(nèi)的多家機(jī)構(gòu)聯(lián)合發(fā)表了一份倡議書，呼吁餐館停止浪費(fèi)食物，幫助培養(yǎng)顧客新的飲食習(xí)慣。

“Restaurants should innovate means of publicity using official accounts on social media and live-streaming to promote and advocate food-saving actions，” the proposal said.

倡議書稱：“餐廳應(yīng)該創(chuàng)新宣傳手段，利用社交媒體上的官方賬號(hào)和直播，來宣傳和倡導(dǎo)節(jié)約食物的行為。”

美團(tuán)建議商戶為顧客提供指引——告知食材的味道、分量等信息，方便顧客按需點(diǎn)單。

Meituan and the organizations are advocating that merchants offer guidance for consumers， including reminding them during the ordering process about the taste of the ingredients， portion sizes and other information about the dishes， to help them avoid food waste due to misleading information.

美團(tuán)和這些組織倡導(dǎo)商家為消費(fèi)者提供指引，包括在點(diǎn)菜過程中提醒消費(fèi)者注意食材的味道、分量大小以及其他有關(guān)菜肴的信息，以幫助他們避免因?yàn)楸恍畔⒄`導(dǎo)而浪費(fèi)食物。

Catering associations in more than 18 provinces have also joined the campaign to eliminate food waste. On Friday the China Cuisine Association announced that it had teamed up with Ele.me， the Alibaba Group Holding-owned food delivery platform， to launch a“half-dish plan”， encouraging restaurants to provide customers with the option to order smaller portions.

超過18個(gè)省的餐飲協(xié)會(huì)也加入了減少食物浪費(fèi)的行動(dòng)中。上周五，中國烹飪協(xié)會(huì)宣布與阿里巴巴集團(tuán)旗下的食品配送平臺(tái)餓了么合作，推出“半份計(jì)劃”，鼓勵(lì)餐館為顧客提供選擇，讓他們可以點(diǎn)小份菜。

To curb portrayals of food waste on social media platforms， popular Chinese video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou have stepped up content reviews of food-related live streams and implemented regulation of online eating shows.

為了遏制社交媒體上的食物浪費(fèi)現(xiàn)象，抖音、快手等中國熱門視頻平臺(tái)都加強(qiáng)了與食品相關(guān)的直播內(nèi)容審查，并對線上飲食節(jié)目實(shí)施監(jiān)管。

Now if users search certain keywords， such as “eating show” or “competitive eaters”， a cautionary message pops up to remind them to cherish food and maintain a reasonable diet.

現(xiàn)在，如果用戶搜索某些關(guān)鍵詞，比如“吃播”或“大胃王挑戰(zhàn)”，就會(huì)彈出一條提示信息，提醒用戶愛惜食物，保持合理飲食。

Across the country， about 40% of all the food Americans buy ends up in the trash. That food waste costs the average family of four about $1，500 a year. It also takes up valuable space in landfills.

在全美范圍內(nèi)，美國人購買的食物中大約40%最終被扔進(jìn)了垃圾桶。這些食物浪費(fèi)平均每年花掉四口之家大約1500美元。而且它還占用了垃圾填埋場的寶貴空間。

The state of Vermont has long been a leader in environmental issues. Now it has just doubled down on its bid to get Vermonters to rethink their relationship with food and waste.

佛蒙特州在環(huán)境問題的處理上一直以來都是表率。這一次，該州繼續(xù)加了把勁，讓佛蒙特州人民重新思考他們與食物浪費(fèi)的關(guān)系。

As of July 1st， it became the first state in the nation to make it illegal for residents to throw their food scraps into the trash. That means everyone in the state -- from businesses to residents – must now keep their food waste out of the garbage.

自7月1日起，該州成為全國第一個(gè)將向垃圾桶里扔殘羹冷炙列為違法行為的州。這意味著該州的每個(gè)個(gè)體——從企業(yè)到居民——現(xiàn)在都不能把浪費(fèi)的食物丟到垃圾堆里。
