Why is reducing food waste important?
Save Money
Grocery prices are rising, and many of us simply can't afford to be throwing food away.
On average, a family of four throws away about $1,600 worth of food each year.
Reduce Hunger in Your Community
In the United States, around 40% of food produced is not eaten, while roughly 1 in 5 people lack consistent access to fresh, nutritious food.
Protect the Environment
Reducing food waste directly reduces your individual greenhouse gas contributions.
As food waste breaks down in landfills, it produces methane gas, a greenhouse gas that is 4x more potent than carbon dioxide.
