The War Against Food Waste

The Story

The majority of Malaysians are lucky enough to eat every day without a problem, with our beloved parents putting food on the table. However, there are some people out there that do not get this luxury. There are underprivileged people, those that are not as fortunate, children that could barely talk and walk, worry about their next meals while so many food is being wasted.

We are Rui Xian and Min Yee from AIESEC Sunway and we are lucky enough to brought up without ever feeling hungry. Our collective goal as a team is to raise awareness among youth to reduce food waste and inspire the people around them to do the same. Food is one of the necessities that the human race needs to survive and we feel that nobody should strave. 

With up to 16,688 tonnes of food wasted by Malaysians per day, people should reflect that a small amount of waste a person really goes a long way. This amount can feed over 2 million people with the regular three meals without an issue. So stop, look around you, look out for those that always waste food. So join us, help us to raise the awareness and tackle the underlying issue of waste wastage. Help us CLEAN OUR PLATE.
