I feel Christmas and New Year's holiday in Japan and north America is opposite. In Japan, Christmas is more like party time, festival feeling, and new years holiday is more holy and family gathering feeling. 
日本のクリスマスとお正月。北米と逆だなと思います。日本はクリスマスはパーティーとかサンタクロースのイメージ。お正月がもう少し神聖な雰囲気で家族でも集まります。

According to data from the World Food Program, nearly 20% of all food produced each year is wasted or lost before it reaches our tables. This adds up to about 1 billion meals going to waste every day.

Wasting food is not only costly but also harmful to the planet. Growing food requires a lot of land, water and energy, and these resources are all wasted when food is thrown away. Also, food waste in landfills produces harmful greenhouse gases.

In fact, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature, food waste accounts for up to 10% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. And cutting global food waste by 50% by 2030 is a key goal of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

So it's clear that food waste is a huge problem, but what can the average person do to help?

For a start, several apps have been created to help reduce food waste, one of which is called Too Good to Go.

Restaurants, cafes and bakeries create a "surprise bag" — a collection of surplus food items that would otherwise be thrown away because they're close to expiring — and advertise it on the app.

Although users can't choose what goes into their surprise bag, the food in the bag is much cheaper than it would usually be.

Too Good to Go was founded in 2015 in Denmark, as a solution to the large amounts of food that were being wasted at buffet restaurants.

Many big stores now list their surplus food on Too Good to Go, such as Starbucks and Burger King. And the app's founders say their users have saved over 330 million meals from going to waste.

So while dealing with the issue of food waste may seem overwhelming, there are steps we can all take to make a difference.

Episode 1 - The American Story

カンパネラ少年は、学校が終わると、まっすぐにサンセット通りの科学塾にむかいます。
『魔法ごっこ』をして あそんでいる ともだちを よこ目に、「魔法なんてウソっぱちだ」と、この調子。
勉強が大好きなカンパネラ少年が信じているのは、目に見えるものだけでした。
　「ごはんよ。おりてきなさい、カンパネラ」
　「ちょっとまって、母さん。となりの星にハシゴが とどきそうなんだ」
カンパネラ少年は、星空で おこなわれている赤いハシゴの工事に夢中です。
科学塾から帰ってきては、ばんごはんも そっちのけで、望遠鏡をのぞいてばかり。

ある日のこと。
その日は、遠くの『えんとつ町』から あがったけむりの量が多くて、星空をうまく のぞくことが できませんでした。しかたがないので、カンパネラ少年は望遠鏡の むきを変えることにしました。
そのときです。
とめていたネジがゆるみ、望遠鏡のさきが くるりと下を むきました。
空中帝国の足もと５０００メートルには、うっそうと ひろがる『森』があります。
　「そうえいば、『森』は どうなっているんだろう？」
カンパネラ少年は、そのまま望遠鏡を のぞきこみました。

なん千年も昔、人間は海から生まれ、あの『森』で暮らした時期があったといいます。これは、空中帝国に住む現代の人間には かんがえられないことでした。『森』は悪性の細菌だらけで、とても人が住める環境ではないからです。年に数回、防護スーツに身をつつんだ帝国の調査団が、『森』へおりているという うわさもありますが、だれひとりとして、そのすがたを見た人はいません。
「『森』には、いったいなにがあるんだろう。」
