There are lots of ways to raise awareness for a cause. Usually, the _______ the idea is, the more it gets noticed. And that’s precisely why one _______ Frenchman has caught our attention.
Baptiste Dubanchet is biking across Europe, surviving _______ on discarded(丢弃) food. The three-month, 1,900-mile journey from Paris to Warsaw is Dubanchet’s _______ of raising awareness of food waste in Europe and throughout the world.
As you can _______, the trip is no piece of cake. While restaurants _______ tons of food each year, much of it remains inaccessible because of _______ garbage containers, health regulations, or business policies. Only about one in ten places _______ him food that would otherwise be discarded. For legal _______, most restaurants have a policy against ________ food waste. “Some people have even ________ their jobs by giving me food,” Dubanchet said.
What’s ________ interesting is the attitude various cities have toward Dubanchet’s cause. Berlin has been the ________ while the most difficult was the Czech town of Pilsen. There, he had to ________ at some 50 different stores or restaurants before finding food. The ________ is all the more serious when you consider the ________ exercise required to bike from France to Poland.
“I have to get food ________ because after all the biking I am tired and I need the ________,” Dubanchet explained. “Is my ________ full or empty? That is the most important thing, not what I am eating.”
