  • 50% OF THE FOOD IN THE UNITED STATES IS THROWN AWAY.
  • Composting can reduce emissions by 2.3 billion tons over the next 30 years.  
  • Wealthy countries waste 220 million tons of food, which end up in landfill producing methane gases, that are 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

Be a Food Waste HoW Changer

  • ReDUCe Reduce and eliminate your food waste! Buy the right amount of food. Make sure you put the right amount of food on your plate. Take home uneaten food for leftovers. Eat food before it expires.
  • Rethink Rethink trash by composting your food scraps. (Cities like Los Angeles allow composting fruit and veggies in green bins.)
  • Redestribute Share your food with others. Have any garden or fruit tree that has more than you can eat? Donate to a local food pantry or organization. Have extra cans and boxes- restock food banks.
  • Request Ask your local grocery stores and restaurants what they do to help with food waste. What happens to items on the shelves before they expire? What happens with leftovers? What is their food waste data?
