Interesting facts about helping others

This week for reading one of our activities was to present 5 interesting facts about helping those in need.  We had to read Food Waste and we could research facts about helping others. This is mine.

Things you can do to reduce the amount of food waste.


  • Create a list each week of things you will eat.

  • By only things you will eat.

  • Give your dog leftovers if they can eat it or have your leftovers the next day for lunch or dinner.




Facts about food waste.


  • It’s estimated that around half of the food kiwi’s bin doesn’t have to be in the bin.

  • Excess food from restaurants and ‘ugly vegetables’ often get tossed away.



Interesting facts about helping those in need.

  • Helping others can make us happy and it makes a difference.

teens.


  • Helping others and giving them things can actually give you a self-esteem boost.
