　　Our world is a strange place．While millions of poor children go to sleep every night with an empty stomach，there are countries which dump（倾倒）40% of their unconsumed food．On a rough estimate，almost one third of the world's food supply is rejected due to small blemishes（瑕疵）like improper shape or spots，which might not excite interest from shoppers．

　　Tristram Stuart is a British activist who sounds the warning bell on global food waste．He wants the world to stop wasting so much good food，and calls for a more responsible use of global resources．

　　Stuart's passion started with pigs．At age 15，he raised pigs to earn extra money，feeding them with leftover food from his school kitchen and local shops．He soon realized that most of the leftover food was actually fit for human consumption．He also began noticing supermarket garbage bins filled with fresh food．

　　"Everywhere I looked，we were wasting food，"he says．"So I began exposing it to the public．"

　　In 2009，Start launched what has become a global food-waste campaign：Feeding the 5000．It was a consciousness raising campaign where 5000people in London were given a free lunch created entirely of food that would otherwise be wasted．People also signed up to the Food Wastage Pledge，promising to reduce their food waste．

　　Since Stuart's efforts began，many supermarkets have changed policies．"Ugly"fruits and vegetables sell well in the fresh produce market．Since stores cam sell them for less，shoppers get a bargain．

　　Stuart stresses that each person can make a powerful difference："In the U．K，food waste in homes has already decreased 25%．By rising up and speaking out，we can make the world's food system more sustainable（可持续）every day．So let's put dumped food into empty stomachs rather than into dustbins．"
