Did you know that saving 1/3 of our food that goes uneaten can save 11,113TWh of energy? That’s enough energy to power over 1 BILLION homes for A YEAR 🤯
Food for thought as energy bills increase!
When food is wasted, so are the natural resources that went into producing it - so saving more than 1/3 of food that goes uneaten helps nature as well as your bank balance.
In addition, producing food releases methane into the atmosphere, but there are many more avoidable methane emissions from food systems - like those from rotting food. Methane is 28 times more potent than Carbon Dioxide and is responsible for 30 - 50% of the warming we experience today.
One of the simplest ways to tackle climate change is to stop wasting food.
