Jack Davis, an 11-year-old from Florida, saw an injustice and decided to do something about it. There is a Florida law which states that a restaurant is responsible for their food making a person sick regardless if it was sold, donated, or given away. Because of that, eateries routinely throw extra food in the trash or send it to a composting company in bins like the ones shown here. Recognizing that much of the food is still perfectly edible, Jack wrote a letter to his congressman asking if anything could be done to change the law. State Senator Nan Rich fell in love with the idea, and it’s now on the fast track to becoming a reality. “If you think there’s a problem in the world,” Jack said, “you don’t wait for other people to fix it. You have to try to fix it yourself.”
