The carbon footprint of food waste in the USA is greater than that of the airline industry! Most wasted food ends up in landfills where it produces methane - a greenhouse gas at least 28 times as potent as C02. As a whole, food waste accounts for over 8% of all greenhouse gas emissions. If food waste can be halved in the next 30 years, our CO2 emissions savings will equal the effect of closing 2,500 coal-fired power plants!

Almost 20% of our personal carbon footprint is created by food waste and about 40% of food waste happens at home! People buy ingredients they aren’t able to cook or misunderstand date labels and discard edible food. In addition, food is often overlooked in the refrigerator or perishes prematurely if improperly stored. See how you can elevate your thinking and improve food consumption habits in your home, so that you can save money for your family and also reduce your personal carbon footprint!
