| Zhou Jinsong，a canteen （食堂）manager at Central South University： Students produce over 12 barrels（桶）of leftovers（剩饭）every day-each barrel stands at one meter in height，My canteen is just one of several canteens on the campus （校 园）.About one third of canteen food ends up in rubbish bins.The food that students waste every year can feed over 10 million people. Gong Tao from Central South University： Students have less and less ideas of food waste over the years.They are now well protected by their families and hardly have any ideas of how much hard work others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat.A more serious problem is that food waste happens almost everywhere.
