It takes roughly 7-10 seconds for germs to travel to a food that’s been dropped on the floor (or ground). Provided the surface is not super dirty or awfully filthy, then it’s still alright to pick up that food and eat it. Green living is all about the optimum use of resources – in the most environment-friendly way. Food wastage is not smart consumption of resources, therefore it is contrary to green living.
