End Food Waste and Feed People, Not Landfills

We can end hunger tomorrow

Let’s chuck food waste in the trash. WE CAN end hunger tomorrow. Over 90 BILLION pounds of food are wasted every year in the United States. And just ONE THIRD of that could end hunger overnight. Join us for our first episode featuring Robert Lee, CEO and co-founder of Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. RLC is a non-profit based in New York City which collects leftovers from restaurants and offices all over the city and delivers them to those without secure access to food. Food delivery for those in need. Listen for ways that you can help to solve the food insecurity problem exactly where you are. Join the conversation, go zero waste, and become part of the solution.
