   Core point: Zang Mengya, a commentator on China Economic Network, believes that holidays are the peak consumption season. This year's National Day ushered in the "extended version" of the double holiday, which is more likely to ignite people's enthusiasm for "shopping and eating". The more this happens, the more we need to advocate economy and consciously practice the "CD-ROM Action".

It is no longer a new topic to abandon the waste of catering and practice the "CD-ROM Action". In recent years, from the implementation of various laws and regulations on food conservation to the promotion of the "CD-ROM Action" in the whole society, the "waste on the tip of the tongue" has improved. However, food waste still exists on some occasions, especially on festivals, when family and friends get together more often, it is easy to breed waste, and banquet parties, wedding banquet, etc. become the hardest hit areas of food waste.

Japanese holiday is the peak consumption season. This year's National Day ushered in the "extended version" of the double holiday, which is more likely to ignite people's enthusiasm for "shopping and eating". Some people say that it doesn't matter to waste a little on the holiday, and we must give enough "face arrangement". Others said that during the journey, it is inevitable to be unfamiliar with the characteristics of food in other places. Once it is not palatable, it will cause waste. When going out, it is not convenient to order more meals.

The more this happens, the more we need to advocate economy and consciously practice the "CD-ROM Action". In fact, holiday consumption is not equal to unrestrained "spending", and there should be no extravagance and waste in the tiredness of the journey. Compared with "overeating", people can "eat as much as they want", "can't pack" and "order small dishes" according to their own conditions. This concept of reducing unnecessary waste and consciously advocating green economy is more worthy of recognition.

In fact, the concept of green, low-carbon, moderately economical, civilized and healthy life and consumption mode have been deeply rooted in people's minds. In the first half of this year, there were more than 20 large catering stores in Beibei District, Chongqing, providing "meal preparation" service for customers, and the hotel provided "extended service" for young customers who came forward to book wedding banquet and adopt "meal preparation"; Compared with previous years, this year's moon cake market in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, has undergone new changes. Simple packaging and bulk moon cakes occupy the mainstream, and the price is relatively affordable, while expensive moon cakes with complex packaging are hard to find

The concept of saving low-carbon and green consumption is never outdated. Whether entertaining guests or leisure tourism, the fun of catering should not come from "extravagant ostentation" and "extravagant spending", but from the improvement of consumption quality and innovation of service methods. At present, the tourism consumption market shows a good trend of orderly recovery. Saving food and refusing to waste is not only the compliance with relevant laws and regulations and the practice of traditional virtues, but also an important manifestation of promoting consumption upgrading and high-quality economic development.

In view of the waste of catering consumption during the festival, relevant departments around the country should strengthen supervision, take practical and effective measures to promote the anti catering waste work, and guide the whole society to form a good atmosphere of shameful waste and pride in saving. Consumers should also order moderately and eat in a civilized manner, and develop the good habit of not wasting and taking the initiative to pack. The catering industry needs to strengthen self-discipline, take the initiative to launch "small dishes" and "half dishes", and implement the whole process standardization and standardized management in the service process of banquets, takeaway delivery, etc., which not only ensures food safety, but also reduces unnecessary food material consumption and avoids food waste.

At the arrival of the festival, we launched the initiative of "cherishing food and refusing waste". At the same time, it should also be clear that the governance of "waste on the tip of the tongue" is not an overnight effort, nor an individual matter. It is a long-term and dynamic process, which requires us to persevere and work together to carry out the "CD-ROM action" to the end, so that the traditional virtues can continue, and the concept of green economy can become the new "food" fashion on the tip of the tongue.
