When food waste ends up in landfills, it releases methane gas, which contributes to climate change. We can reduce food waste by buying only what we need, planning our meals, and composting our food scraps. Let's work together to reduce food waste and make a positive impact on our environment.

Earth Overshoot Day marks the factor at which we’ve used a year’s worth of resources. The day is calculated by using the the worldwide carbon footprint network which compares how carbon, crops, food, water, forests and many others we’re exploiting with the planet’s capacity to regenerate and soak up the carbon emitted from the intake. The consequences of COVID-19 have induced it to arise 3 weeks later than the previous year, but we still require 1.6 earths worth of resources this year! The record estimated that the pandemic had driven a 14.5-percent decrease in humanity's carbon footprint as compared to 2019. Thankfully, the global Footprint community has a #MoveTheDate movement to chip away at our very own carbon footprint both collectively. If we move the date just five days every 12 months...
