2. Reducing Food Wastage｜减少食物浪费

Food wastage is a key area of focus this year. Council members proposed initiatives to encourage their peers to be mindful of the food they take, reducing waste in the cafeteria. By taking only what they need, students can contribute to a more sustainable and responsible community.

食物浪费是本学年关注的重要领域。学生会成员提议，在食堂鼓励同学慎重取餐，减少浪费。吃多少取多少，学生可以为可持续发展、有责任感的校园作贡献。

学生会不仅仅讨论想法，还将它付诸实践。在未来的几个月，学生会成员将忙于项目，以身作则，与同学们一起，实现这些倡议。

This year, we are excited to see the Student Council members grow as leaders and role models. They are not only a voice for the student body but also champions for positive change. With a focus on environmental responsibility and reducing food wastage, the council is setting the stage for a year of impactful projects and meaningful progress.

本学年，我们很高兴看到学生会成员成长为领袖和榜样。他们不仅为学生发声，还拥护正面的改变。重视对环境的责任心，减少食物浪费，学生会为整年具有影响力的项目和有意义的进展创造了条件。

The first meeting was just the beginning. As we move forward, we will continue to work together to build a school community where everyone feels valued, supported, and inspired. We encourage all students to get involved, share their ideas, and join us on this journey to make our school the best it can be.

首次会议只是一个开始。随着我们的推进，我们将持续与他们一同，建立一个让大家备受尊重和备受启发的校园。加入我们，让学校变得越来越好。

Together, we can make a difference—one action at a time.

手挽手，同心同德，我们可以产生积极的影响。
