People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing began to offer（提供）smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home.
To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It’s important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?
