More than 450 tons of our Waste Food (Nutrients) in the Bin During Ramadan … Take a lesson O men of understanding ….اكثر من اربعمائه وخمسون طنا من نعم الله في نفاياتنا … فاتعظو يا اولي الألباب

Despite growing numbers of educated people in our community, who are expected to be aware of what they are doing during ramadan, but the reality let us down when it detects the realities of showing a fall of awareness, and confirms that the influence of education and confidence remain limited in the ranges of perhaps away from the lives of individuals.
The tale of this conversation, an article published by a foreign newspaper for the volume of waste consisting of food in the month of Ramadan. The article indicates that 450-550 tons of food finds its way in the waste bins, during the month of Ramadan only each year. What to worry about this figure, is not only the amount of food that is thrown and the depletion of precious resources that are used in the development, manufacture and distribution of these materials, such as energy, water and packaging, but also because of the environmental impact of such waste food generates methane and other greenhouse gases with the arrival of the dumps.
If the experts and interested environmentalists are concerned about the environmental impact of such waste, the greater concern we are in this respect, a fear that the day will come when we need this tonnage is not found, because of individuals who assert in every Ramadan, they do not appreciate the grace, the right of, and care about the money spent, if it been otherwise, what caused the existence of tons of waste, which may be most suitable to feed thousands of families that the person is enough to only 500 grams out of 450-550 tons.
The scary figure that is mentioned, no wonder in that, especially as we hear about the rush of people on the daily shopping what they requires and do not require. While facing the people that we are bound by the Association of religion and humanity, was devastated by the flood disaster is unprecedented
With almost three and a half million are at risk of contaminated drinking water, not to mention the displacement of thousands and millions remain hungry no homes in that region and in other parts of the earth. If this is the case with some people, how we give ourselves the stake to throw these blessings and converted to waste, as if no one in the world in need of materials that make them or the funds is spent?
How long we remain ourselves enemies of passive consumption and spending unregulated, and irrational and the neglect of which increases our failures does not contribute to development? If we are the wealthy enough, yes, but we have surplus funds and money, it is assumed to invest those funds in supporting the deprive, rather than diverted to waste been a disaster financially and environmentally damaging us before any one else, because we did not preserve grace and no conserve it.
