October issue Let's think about food loss reduction and environmental issues

　On May 12, 2021, Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. and Yokohama City signed a comprehensive partnership agreement for the realization of a comfortable life and society, and will cooperate in various initiatives, including the environment, agriculture, welfare for the elderly.
　This time, we visited "Muji Konandai Burs" to cover "environmentally friendly initiatives."

　In Yokohama, households in burnable garbage contains 93,000 tons of food loss annually. The amount is about 25 kg per person, equivalent to about 19,000 yen for food expenses. In order to reduce food loss, each person's awareness is very important.
　Initiatives to reduce food loss that each person can work on include buying the amount that can be eaten, tidying refrigerators, and cooking as much as they can eat that day.
　In addition to these individual efforts, Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. is engaged in food drive activities as an initiative to reduce food loss.

　Food drive is an activity to donate unused food that cannot be used in each household to welfare facilities and welfare organizations. Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd.'s food drive activities have been implemented starting with "Muji Tokyo Ariake", and are currently being deployed at all stores in Yokohama after the conclusion of a comprehensive partnership agreement with Motoichi. I am.

　　In addition, Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. is working to reduce food loss through weight sales. Purchasing the amount I could eat will lead to a reduction in food loss, so I felt that I wanted to actively use it.

　"If you take a big picture of environmental issues, such as reducing food loss, you will not know how to deal with it, so I think it is important to accumulate small things. It was very impressive that the person in charge of Muji Konandai Burs said.
