Ramadan is here. After the disasters, Ramadan tables will be set in moderation, in a way to nurture the spirit of solidarity. It would be inappropriate to set iftar tables with excessive variety and abundance. Iftar tables had gone a bit over-the-top over the past few decades, quite opposite to the modest humble tables of once upon a time, excessiveness had become the norm. Consequently, waste was unavoidable, with most of the food going in the trash bin. Now, it is time to get back to normal. Moreover, the United Nations, thanks to Türkiye’s efforts, declared March 30 as “International Zero Waste Day.” Then, it’s time for good old-fashioned austerity.
