Three years ago me, my husband and one of my best friends, Jerome (an awesome world traveler French guy) went to the castle of Buda to show him around. It's a beautiful historical
place. When we got there I saw something. I almost walked away without noticing it but then I felt a strange feeling telling me to look right because there is something. And there it was...! I stopped and just stared at it. Do you want to know what it was? An apple. A healthy, juicy, shiny green apple on the top of a garbage with a bite in it. I even took a picture because it was so shocking to me. Not hat I forget anything I see or hear. My husband is amazed how small details I remember from the past. Anyway, that moment was THE moment when I realized that something is really wrong. Wrong with people, wrong with the world. Who the heck does something that horrible with a beautiful, delicious looking apple? Just throw it away like that? What did he or she thought? "Hmmm... no... I have changed my mind... I don't feel like eating it... I don't care about the fact that in this very moment hundreds or maybe thousands of people, children, babies, dogs, cats, ect... die around the world from starvation."
Of course sometimes even I forget about leftover in the fridge and when it taints I have to put it in the garbage and I feel so bad. It happens to everyone, right? But with that poor apple the case was compeletely different. Somebody thrown it away after taking a bite. I don't think he or she thought that: "Ohh, awwww, this apple is so yummy that I want to give it to a homeless so he/she could eat it instead of me." Ok...there are no homeless people in the castle area, only tourists and rich people who live there.
Wasting food is a crime! Unfortunately it's happening all over the world in every moment. In restaurants, schools, work places, on the street ect.. People usually buy or take more than they want or able to eat and then all the leftover goes to the garbage. Half of hamburgers, french fries, soup, cake, rice, bread... You name it, it's in the garbage. In America factories rather pour out the yield they couldn't sell to the ocean than giving it to those in need. Parents don't teach their children not to waste food at home so they won't eat normally at school, kindergarten. Nowdays children are so picky. They all learn it at home and then they become the "healthy apple thrower" adults. It's sad, isn't it?
In Africa millions of people, parents would give their left arms for that apple so they could give it to their very hungry children. My heart goes out for them. I'm writing my blog because of them. I'm writing it because of that apple and the trees, the soil, the ocean, the orangutans, rhinoceroses, pandas, whales, tuna fish... Millions of people destroy our planet every single day and you know why? Greediness, money. That's why. I'm sick of it. I can't take it any more. I have to help out Globe and the suffering people, creatures who need it.
Please, everyone! PLEASE, try to live a better life, a healthier life. Try to put a pure meaning of the centre of your lives, not the money.
