6.Pappadavada,a popular restaurant in Kochi,India,is urging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a fridge located outside of the restaurant for the hungry to take.
People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take from the fridge at any time,for any reason.Minu Pauline,who runs Pappadavada,has nicknamed the fridge,which was placed there on March 23and is shaded by a neighboring tree,"tree of goodness".
The fridge is open 24hours a day,seven days a week and stays unlocked.Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food,so those who take know how long it's been there.But most food doesn't stay in the fridge for long.In spite of a huge response from the community and plenty of donations,the fridge needs to be brought more in to replace in time.Pauling herself adds around 75% to 80% of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge.
The idea to put a fridge on the street came to Pauline late on night when she saw a lady searching in a dustbin for food.She was especially saddened because that particular night,her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could have easily given the woman,instead of her searching for it.She felt like she contributed to waste,and avoiding waste is what Pauline pays her attention to.
"The only thing I want to say no is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the fridge.But I'd rather people put their food they bought but aren't going to eat in the fridge instead of the dustbin,"she said.
