Last night (2/12), led by their teacher, 13 students from Po Leung Kuk Lee Shing Pik College in Tsuen Wan, together with recycling personnel, experienced food recovery and sharing at Tai Wai Market. The students worked very hard, assisting the recycling personnel in collecting and carrying heavy vegetables, pushing trolleys up and down slopes, weighing, sorting, registering distribution tickets, sharing food with the elderly, and even cleaning utensils. The students deeply felt the惜"pity of discarding vegetables that were clearly still fresh" and were grateful for the vendors' generous donations, which prevented the food from being wasted. They also interacted with the merchants and beneficiaries, making everyone feel especially heart-warming. Last night, they collectively recycled 598 kilograms of food, contributing to the environment and the beneficiaries! 

Commercial operations cause a lot of fresh food to be removed from the shelves that night to make room for a new batch of food the next day. The work of food recovery and sharing can save this still-safe-to-eat food from being wasted, reduce the burden on landfills, and help those in need, achieving multiple benefits. Schools are welcome to participate in "Food Commons Community" - Food Education and Volunteer Activities, so that students can understand and experience it firsthand.
