<h5>Leftover food causes food wastage!</h5><p>We eat food to stay healthy and happy. But, sometimes, we have to deal with leftover food. Usually, we throw it away, which is not good and wasteful.</p><p>Thankfully, Pahang (a Malaysian state) has found a unique solution to reduce wastage.</p><h5>What is being done in the state?</h5><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/ramadan-food-waste-converted-into-fertiliser%2FMachine.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=02b38e8f-098d-4c77-ba54-f27f51368ff6"><figcaption>People put leftover food in the machine to convert it into fertiliser.

People put their leftovers in the machine. Then, the machine mixes it with other things to make fertiliser.</p><p>Sadly, the amount of fertiliser created by the machine using leftover food is too small compared to the amount of food sent to landfills. Hopefully, more machines will be used to reduce food wastage further.</p><h5>What can we do?</h5><p><strong>Remember only to take the amount of food you can eat. Don't take too much and throw it away.</strong></p><p>You can also help store food carefully so it doesn't spoil. If foods spoil, we have to throw them away, which is wasteful.</p><p>We must try using leftover food to make new meals. For example, leftover veggies can be used in a sandwich. These are some steps you can take to reduce food wastage.</p>
