Restaurants, colleges, hospitals and other institutions are making up for the rising costs of waste in new ways. Some are tracking their trash with software systems mak
51、ing food in smaller amount or trying to cut down on trash-hauling(托运)costs. Roughly 30% percent of food in the United States goes to waste, costing some $48 billion annually according to a Stockholm International Water Institute study. A 2022 University of Arizona study estimated that 40 to 50 perce
52、nt of food in the United States is wasted. Freshman students at Virginia Tech were surprised this year when they entered two of the campuss biggest dining halls to find there were no cafeteria trays. Getting rid of trays has cut food waste by 38% percent at the cafeterias, said Denny Cochrane, manag
53、er of Virginia Techs sustainability program. Before the program began, students often grabbled whatever looked good at the canteen, only to find at the table that their eyes were bigger than their stomachs, he said. That same phenomenon often happens at Oregons Portland International Airport. Busy t

Now the airport is carrying out a program to install food-only trash carts. The food waste is collected in biodegradabe(可生物分解的) bags and given to the city to use as
55、compost(堆肥). Besides being environmentally friendly, the changes may save the airport money. It costs about $82 to have one ton of trash hauled from the airport to the city landfill(垃圾掩埋场). But food waste costs about $48 a ton to haul. Cutting back on the waste can require spending money on software
56、 and training. LeanPath, based in Portland, Ore, sells a software system to track food being thrown out. Steve Peterson, head chef at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas, said he was surprised when he installed the LeanPath system and saw the value of food that was going out the back door. To cut costs
57、, Peterson decided to reduce serving sizes. He said customers werent bothered by the switch, which has helped him lower food waste by between 15 to 20 percent over 18 month.73.

58、the world.C. to keep the dining room clean D. to reduce the effort of cooking74. What kind of measure has been taken to cut food waste? A. Making cafeteria at colleges and universities trayless. B. Using software system to trace the location of the trash. C. Trying to remove the food waste little by

It has been defined as “an inspirational process
63、 that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a woodland environment”.Forest schools use the woods and forests as a means to build independence and self-esteem in school-age children. Topics are broad including the
64、 natural environment, for example the role of trees in society, the complex ecosystem supported by a wilderness, and recognition of specific plants and animals. However, the personal skills are considered highly valuable, such as teamwork and problem solving. The woodland environment may be used to
65、learn about more abstract concepts such as mathematics and communication. Forest schools are also called nature schools.Schedules within forest schools vary, but a typical approach is to take school children to woodland for once a week, with 6 week observation period at first. Often a baseline(基线)is
66、 produced for each child in terms of areas of their overall development, with particular emphasis on their social and emotional aspects of learning (SEAL). Once the baseline assessment has been produced, the Forest School teachers will then continue with the long term programme over the course of th
67、e academic year in order to support the child in their development and learning. The teachers will provide opportunities for each child to develop in areas that have been identified as requiring interventions(介入)or support of any kind.

68、e most; more time spent in forest schools brings greater benefits.
