This article addresses the issue of food waste: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/02/03/unjust-shaming-little-girl-highlights-broad-issue-institutional-food-waste/
When I worked at Sodexo, there was a lot of food wasted that could have gone to hungry people. The chef told me he didn't donate food anymore because he didn't want to be held responsible if the recipient mishandled the food and people got sick.
There should be a company of food handlers that collects still-edible leftovers from institutions like the dining hall.
I've also been thinking about upgrading thrift stores for the 21st century. For example, electronics should be shipped to a service center that can test them and refurbish or recycle as appropriate.
Our culture needs to stop thinking of things as disposable; we need to do less mass-producing and use resources more wisely. Upgrading how we resell goods would be a step in the right direction.
