Wasting food is akin to being a "carbon criminal", Environment Minister Anil Madhav Dave said on Monday while calling for making a lifestyle of minimum carbon footprint a movement of the future.
"Wasting food is akin to being a 'carbon criminal'," Dave tweeted.
"Let us make a lifestyle of minimum carbon footprint a movement of the future. Winds of change always start from self and from within," he said in a series of tweets.
Giving his message on Children's day, Dave said they should take only as much food as they want in their plate.
"My message to children on Children's Day today -- 'Take only as much food as you want in your plate'," he said.
