My niece called earlier today to asked me about food recycling. And guess what, it took me a while to remember everything - those that I learned during my school years about yes, food recycling. Actually, what comes to my mind first is the food collecting process of the less fortunate people who lives nearby those fast food chains that usually collects the food scraps from the store. And would you believe that those food scraps they collected are being served at their table!? sad story but real. It actually breaks my heart when I saw a feature story on the news sometime last year, they are indeed living out of the food wastes of other people. Oh well. Anyways, going back to what food recycling is, it is the process of making the wastes into fertilizers by undergoing a process called compost pitting. Then I fully remember, it is one of our school project when I was still in grade 6! we made plant fertilizers out of the food scraps we collected from the canteen! I know it sounds so gooey and all, but yes, it's part of the curriculum and professionals are really doing that. I wonder how my niece would react to that project soon!
