The Editor,
The National Daily,
New Delhi.
Subject: Concern over Food Wastage
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my deep concern over the growing issue of food wastage in hotels, marriages, and parties. Oversized servings and ordering excessive food have become a common practice, reflecting a casual attitude toward food. This wastage has severe consequences, especially in a country where millions still go hungry every day.
To address this issue, it is essential to encourage people to order only what they can consume. Event organizers should prepare limited items and promote the donation of unconsumed food to those in need. Additionally, creating food banks can ensure that surplus food reaches the underprivileged rather than being wasted.
I urge your esteemed publication to highlight this issue and create awareness among the masses about the importance of reducing food wastage. Together, we can make a difference.
Yours sincerely,
Tanvi
