From "half a meal" to disc action, from conscious action to industry alliance promotion... The reporter recently learned from interviews in many places that under the promotion of the concept of civilization and the promotion of regulatory actions, the wasteful behavior of catering has been significantly improved, and the social trend of thrift and thrift has become stronger.
The "small bowl" dish is popular
At the "small bowl dish" window of the canteen of Xining No. 5 Middle School in Qinghai Province, more than 10 kinds of dishes placed in small bowls are waiting for students to choose. Yu Junjie, a first-year senior, chose two dishes, fried bacon with green pepper and diced chicken from Gongbao, for lunch, for a total of 10 yuan. He said: "The small bowl dishes in the school canteen are rich in variety and cheap. Students have a wider range of options and avoid waste. ”
"In order to meet the dining needs of different teachers and students, we provide choices according to the idea of 'half serving half price' and 'small portion suitable price' to prevent waste from the source." Zhang Junqing, vice principal of Xining No. 5 Middle School, said that the canteen not only launched a "small bowl of dishes", but also set up a volunteer post to guide students to take meals reasonably.
Yang Zhurui, a senior high school student, said: "I usually eat half a portion of rice, and I was under pressure before I couldn't finish eating." The reporter saw in the school canteen that posters publicizing food conservation were posted on the wall, and the LED electronic screen scrolled to play "a porridge and a meal, when thinking is not easy to come by." Half a thread, half a wisp, constant thoughts of material difficulties" and other slogans.
In Xining City, schools and kindergartens innovate the way of canteen operation, guide teachers and students to start from civilized meals, and refuse extravagance and waste. Many primary and secondary schools and kindergartens have cultivated students' awareness of thriftiness and thrift and opposition to waste through measures such as theme class meetings and signing of commitment letters.
"By going deep into schools, restaurants, and families to carry out theme publicity and education activities, formulating service specifications for the catering industry, and further promoting strict conservation and opposing waste to become a social trend." Wang Chuang, full-time deputy director of the Office of the Leading Group for the Creation of a National Civilized City in Xining City, said.
Creative publicity has its own character
An empty plate, a big smiling face, next to which it reads "Disc Action, Start with Me." This is a painting by Wang Zichun, a student of Mingde Primary School in Changchun City, Jilin Province. On the WeChat public accounts such as Changchun Civilization Network and Civilization New Changchun, more than 100 children's paintings collected were displayed.
Some of the young writers painted the hard work of the peasant uncle, some painted the scene of themselves and their families eating civilized, and some depicted the harm caused by eating wild game... "Now that life is rich, children do not understand the importance of saving food." Zhang Xue, the mother of a small author, said that after explaining farming culture to the children, the children completed the paintings.
Yao Shuhui, deputy director of Changchun Municipal Library, introduced that this public welfare children's painting collection activity focused on the theme of "green environmental protection and healthy life", showing children's understanding, yearning and concern for healthy life. In addition to collecting paintings, he also led the students to draw green shopping bags and participate in online story meetings, so that the concept of saving food was rooted in the hearts of children.
Wang Xun, the eighth class teacher of the second grade of Mingde Primary School, said that under the initiative of the school, more and more parents are also participating in the "small hands holding hands" activity to save food and oppose waste, cultivate good habits in life with practical actions, and jointly create a good trend of civilization and frugality.
Industry alliances grasp the implementation
In the view of Han Suhua, manager of Beijing Xin bashu Restaurant, the change brought about by strict conservation is a significant reduction in kitchen waste. "We used to fill several barrels a day, but now we can fill up two barrels at most." Han Suhua said that not only do dine-in guests reduce waste, but the takeaway food is also more economical.
"The restaurant's Meituan platform records guest evaluations every day, and we will collect them specifically to analyze the amount of dishes and saltiness reflected by guests, and prepare dishes more precisely to avoid waste." Han Suhua said that for example, according to customer feedback, a variety of one-person set menus have been added, and the most popular dish now is "small eggplant with soup".
In order to promote the common practice of civilized behavior in catering, express delivery and other industries, Beijing Daxing District has established a takeaway express industry alliance. "The alliance includes commerce, public security, transportation, fire protection, housing construction, postal and other departments, coordinating 3 takeaway platforms and 8 express delivery companies such as Meituan, Ele.me and Hema." Wang Siyuan, head of the Spiritual Civilization Section of the Propaganda Department of the Daxing District CPC Committee, said that at present, 5917 employees, 202 express delivery points, and more than 110 key enterprises have been included in the management of the alliance. By building an industry alliance platform to promote the effective continuation of conservation behavior, it not only reduces the choice cost of consumers, but also helps merchants reasonably assess the stock volume, more accurately promotes the action of "strict conservation and opposition to waste", and promotes the concept of disc into thousands of homes.
