Despite death penalty being the harshest punishment, it has also not able to check crime in return. The great socialist leader Lok Nayak Shri Jai Prakash Narain had said, \"It is ultimately a question of respect for life and human approach to those who commit grievous hurt to others.

Moreover as long as it is accepted as a legitimate form of punishment, the possibility of political misuse may also not be ruled out.

Food waste is an enormous drain on natural resources and a contributor to negative environmental impacts. Making informed decision therefore means, for example, that you purposefully select foods that have less of an environmental impact, such as organic foods that do not use chemicals in the production process, choosing to buy locally can also mean that foods are not flown halfway across the world and therefore limit emissions. Food preservation is an effective way of saving food and preventing it from being wasted or lost. In fact, communities around the world have been employing food saving methods for centuries in order to prolong its shelf life. earthen pots served as good preservers of boiled/mashed food which could remain fresh for several days. the food could be kept in a well aereated store/place called \"Ikumbi\". Tamarind or lemon juice are used as preservative for chutneys, pickles and food that is packed for long journeys.30
