CNN News:横扫饥饿，看我如何用剩饭拯救你

In the U.S., 40 percent of the food that's produced goes uneaten, goes to waste. A charity organizer named Robert Lee says the amount of food that's wasted is enough to eradicate hunger. So, Lee founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. The organization is based on a simple idea and it's working for New York's restaurants and New York's hungry.

在美国，所生产的40%的食物并没有被吃掉，而是被浪费了。一个慈善机构的组织者 Robert Lee说，这些浪费的食物的数量足够用来消除饥饿了。所以Lee成立了“拯救剩余的饭菜”这个慈善组织。这个慈善组织就是基于这样一个简单的想法，为纽约的一些餐馆和饥饿的人群服务。

Lee is today's character study.

Lee就是今天的焦点主人公。

ROBERT LEE, CNN HERO: The club that I was involved in, in college, brought leftover dining hall food from campus to the homeless shelter, and I just thought that the concept could be applied outside the borders of NYU.

Robert Lee，CNN主人公：大学我所加入的社团，将校园里食堂卖不完的饭菜带到流浪者收容所。我就想这个想法不应该只局限于校园。

So, welcome, and thank you guys for coming. Today, we'll be going to the Long Rodeo Cafe.

所以，欢迎各位加入。今天，我们要去 Long Rodeo (ph) Cafe咖啡厅。

In Manhattan alone, there is about 100,000 restaurants. Our strategy is to work with as many restaurants as possible and get that food waste to people who need it.

仅在曼哈顿，大约就有10万个餐馆。我们的策略是尽可能与更多的餐馆合作，然后将那里剩余的食物送给需要的人们。

Looks really good.

You see the line now. They're actually going in for dinner. All that food today that would have been thrown out without your help. So I really appreciate it.

你们现在看到的这个长队，这是人们排队进去吃饭。如果没有你们的帮助，他们今天所吃的这些食物都会被扔掉。所以，我真的很感激。

Since we started, we have rescued over 100,000 pounds of food. It's just the beginning.

With more restaurants, who knows how much more we could do?
