可減少食物浪費的APP
雙語新聞
It’s night time in Washington and employees at Rasa, an Indian restaurant are preparing takeout orders. But in a unique twist the customers don’t know what they’re getting. They ordered based only on price not on a specific menu item.
華盛頓的夜晚，印度餐廳Rasa的員工正在準備外賣訂單。但有一個獨特之處，顧客們并不知道他們會收到什么。他們僅根據價格下單，而不是選擇具體的菜品。
The food was ordered via a mobile app called Too Good To Go which connects restaurants, cafes and supermarkets with users who want to buy food often close to its expiration date at deeply discounted prices.
這些食物是通過名為Too Good To Go的手機應用下單的，該應用將餐館、咖啡館和超市與希望以大幅折扣購買接近保質期食物的用戶連接起來。
This bowl from Rasa normally cost 10 to 13 dollars, through the app it costs 6.5 dollars.
Rasa的一碗菜通常售價在10到13美元之間，通過該應用購買則為6.5美元。
Vinod says the restaurant owners aren’t making a lot of money on these orders. But that’s better than throwing food away and an added benefit, bringing in new customers.
Vinod表示，餐館老板通過這些訂單賺的錢并不多。但這總比浪費食物好，另一個好處是能吸引新客戶。

Too Good To Go于2015年在丹麥創立，現在已在歐洲和北美運營。據公司北美區副總裁介紹，目前美國用戶約有800萬。
But when food does have to be thrown away, there’s an app for that as well.
但當食物確實需要被丟棄時，也有相應的應用程序來處理。
About 400 of these app-operated smart composting bins are in New York. They’re being used to recycle old food and keep it out of landfills.
紐約大約有400個通過應用操作的智能堆肥箱。這些堆肥箱用于回收舊食物，防止其進入垃圾填埋場。
The US Department of Agriculture says about one third of all edible food in the US goes uneaten and into the garbage.

Chris Micklay from Too Good To Go says using or reusing as much of that edible but unused food must be a national goal.

Food waste isn’t just a waste, rotting food contributes to climate change by producing methane, one of the most potent greenhouse gases.
