But food waste does not simply vanish. It still travels somewhere after we throw it out.
可是,食物浪费并不会真正消失,它只是被送到了别的地方。
Some food scraps may be collected with general trash and carried to landfill sites.

When food rots in places without enough air, it can release gases that add pressure to the environment.
食物在缺少空气的环境里腐烂时,会释放一些气体,给环境带来额外压力。
Food waste also means the water, land, transport, and work used to grow and deliver that food were partly wasted too.
而且,食物一旦被浪费,用来种植、运输和准备它的水、土地和劳动,也有一部分跟着一起被浪费了。
