This Organization is Working to Reduce Food Waste This Thanksgiving…and Every Day
In this country alone, 35% of the 229 million tons of food available go unsold or uneaten…that's $408 billion worth of food. What's more, uneaten food is also responsible for 18% of all cropland use, 14% of all freshwater use, 24% of landfill inputs, and 4% of U.S. greenhouse gas. That's a lot of waste!This Thanksgiving, we'd like to give a special thanks to ReFED, a national nonprofit dedicated to ending food loss and waste across the U.S. food system. We're so grateful for their work helping to reduce food waste on a national level…and they're inspiring us to make changes in our own homes when it comes to thinking about what we can do to play our part in wasting less.
