Every year 165 billion dollars worth of food is wasted just in America
That's 40% of all raw food produced

Wasting all this food effects our country in more ways than you would think.
It's easy to not waste food in today's society.
Companies just don't want to use their resources to do the right thing.

OUR GOALStop the Wastage of tons of food every year that could go to those struggling with hunger |
Let's beFlexible
Two fifths of America's produce is thrown away immediately just based off of how it looks. Our "cult of perfection" pushes companies to only sell the best looking produce, even if it involves throwing away perfectly good food.

let's be kind andDonate
Because of supply and demand, many grocers and other food companies order more food than they will sell, but when the day is over, companies just throw all excess food away. Simply donating leftover, edible food could help feed thousands.
|
let's be resourceful andCompost
If leftover food is unsafe or inedible, anyone is able to at least compost the food rather than throwing it out. This keeps food out of landfills and also allows for food in the future to be grown with natural fertilizer.
