The days of feasting will be here soon and one thing for the sake of the environment we need to think about- and that’s waste.
Did you know that food waste accounts for one-third of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions! Why does that matter? If food goes to the landfill and rots, it produces methane- a greenhouse gas even more potent that carbon dioxide. Methane is 25 times as potent as CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere. Each of us can make a difference by checking what’s in refrigerator before shopping, eat leftovers, buy ugly foods, and compost. Together we can make a difference. The 5 most wasted foods are bread, milk, potatoes, cheese and apples. Together we can make a difference.
