节约粮食 传承美德
——中学部国旗下的讲话
节约粮食 传承美德
高二（3）班 钟天盛
尊敬的各位老师、亲爱的同学们：
大家早上好！我是来自高二3班的钟天盛，很荣幸今天能站在这个台上讲话，今天我讲话的主题是节约粮食、传承美德。
想必同学们在电视上看过这样一则公益广告，全球每年粮食总量的1/3被浪费，年浪费量达13亿吨，相当于全球谷物产量的1/2。还有这样一则调查数据，在市场上购买的食品中，大约有27%当作垃圾丢弃，其中仍可食用却遭丢弃的占18%，平均每人要丢弃他所购买的食品的四分之一。 还有两个北京市的中学生做了这样一项调查，仅就北京市而言，中小学生平均每天午餐浪费的粮食总量就高达270吨。
有的人也许会说：现在生活水平提高了，浪费点儿粮食没什么要紧，我浪费的是自己的，跟别人没有关系。从表面上看，浪费只是个人的消费方式，但从本质上讲，它却从一个侧面反映了一个人的人生观和价值观。
节约粮食，是我们每个公民应尽的义务，更是我们在校学生从小就该养成的习惯。而不是说你的生活好了，你浪费得起就可以浪费。浪费是一种不尊重自然和他人劳动果实的可耻行为。即使在发达国家，节俭也被视为一种美德。这是对劳动的尊重，也是一种社会责任，更何况我国还是一个发展中国家，还有那么多人没有解决温饱问题，还有那么多孩子因贫穷而失去受教育的机会。
看看我们校园里，各种浪费现象依然比比皆是。在教室，有些同学把吃不完的课间餐就扔进了垃圾桶；在食堂，有些同学吃不到几口饭菜就丢下餐盘走人了。虽然我们每天都在说要节约粮食，但做的时候却并不见得能够铭记于心。其实，减少不必要的浪费并不难.在日常生活中不过是举手之劳.只要存有节约的意识.其实做起来很简单。我们只要每天打饭的时候估量一下自己能吃多少，就和厨师要多少，并尽量吃完，不扔剩饭菜。每人节约一点点，潲水桶中的剩渣也就不会堆得满满的，这样不仅节约了粮食，也能减少给后勤的叔叔阿姨的劳动量。
我衷心的希望同学们能从自我做起，节约粮食，时刻铭记。我的讲话完毕，谢谢！
Let’s save food together!
He Jiahui from class 10 Senior two
Good morning my dear teachers and fellows. I’m He Jiahui from class 10 Senior two. Today my topic is saving food. As we all know, our world is now suffering from a global food crisis. Every 6 seconds, a child dies for lack of food. Many countries especially in Africa are facing a dire food situation. Food demand and supply falls out of balance.
Yes, we are lucky. We are not suffering from the food problem for the time being. Our school canteen provides enough food for us from breakfast to dinner. But in our school many behaviors of wasting food should be avoided. We can see many leftovers in canteen. Many people just hold the idea “the more, the better”, thus a lot of food has been wasted, which’s a great pity. Compare to the children in other poor countries, I think we should treasure what we have. To save food in our daily life, everybody can make a little contribution, such as try not to leave any food after eating, make sure that you will eat the food before you buy it, tell your friends and families that we should be frugal but not wasted. Every time you waste food, think over that one billion starving people. The more you save, the more you can help them.
So let’s take actions, let’s do something, let’s make a big difference.
Thank you for your listening.
