General Meeting, Thursday, March 3, 7:30pm to 8:30pm.  Our speaker at this meeting is World Wildlife Fund spokesperson, Alex Nicols-Vineza, who will talk about, “What’s Up With Food Waste?"

LEARN:

Today, an estimated one-third of all the food produced in the world goes to waste. That’s equal to about 1.3 billion tons of food, that either never leave the farm, get lost or spoiled during distribution, or are thrown away in hotels, grocery stores, restaurants, schools, or home kitchens. It could be enough calories to feed every undernourished person on the planet.

But wasted food isn't just a social or humanitarian concern—it's an environmental one. When we waste food, we also waste all the energy and water it takes to grow, harvest, transport, and package it. And if food goes to the landfill and rots, it produces methane—a greenhouse gas even more potent than carbon dioxide.
