In three weeks, I will create an A3 seize instruction poster which contains 7 pictures found from internet and explained in Chinese and English by me for the 20 restaurants owners in Lanzhou, China to reduce (Conservation, 2013, para 3) the food wastage (UNEP, n.d., para 1) by 10% by learning (McLeod, 2008, para 6) 1 way on a poster in 3 days.Three main reasons which cause food wastage are identified.Recommended three methods with effectiveness to reduce food wastage.The three method are verified with the cooperation of 10 restaurants owners.Search adequate pictures for both reasons and methods then put them on the poster.The poster is re-produced and distributed in each restaurants. 20 restaurants owners in Lanzhou, China can learn (McLeod, 2008, para 6) 1 way on a poster in 3 days to reduce (Conservation, 2013, para 3) the food wastage (UNEP, n.d., para 1) by 10%.
