Rethinking Waste at Home
The food waste crisis starts in our kitchens.
Nearly half of all fresh produce in U.S. homes goes uneaten. It wilts in the back of the fridge, gets overlooked in crowded drawers, or spoils before we get the chance to use it
(EPA, NRDC).
When that happens, it’s not just the food we lose. It’s the land, water, energy, and care that went into growing it. Once produce ends up in landfills, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide
(FAO).
This isn’t just a food issue. It’s a climate issue.
And it starts with the way we store what we bring home.
