Canada produces an impressive amount of food annually, with field crops alone accounting for around 94.4 million metric tonnes in the past year. Almost half of that - 46.5% - is wasted, with 11.2 million metric tonnes of this waste being avoidable. This waste also contributes approximately 25.7 million metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year. That’s about 253,000 flights between Toronto and Vancouver. Organizations like Second Harvest are addressing this issue by rescuing surplus food and redistributing it to communities in need. Learn how you can help reduce waste by donating surplus food or supporting their efforts: https://lnkd.in/g_kNg5mj

🎉Today is day three of celebrating 12 incredible years of Seventh Sense Consulting!🎉 As we reflect on this milestone, we’re reminded of the power of community and the profound impact we can make when we come together to support one another. At Seventh Sense Consulting, giving back isn’t just a part of what we do – it’s at the core of who we are. As we celebrate 12 years of Seventh Sense Consulting, we’re filled with gratitude for our incredible team, partners, and clients who have supported us on this journey. Together, we’ve built more than just a business – we’ve built a community dedicated to making the world a better place. From education and health research to small non-profits supporting no-kill animal shelters and local food pantries, we’re committed to making a difference where it matters most. But our dedication to giving back goes beyond financial contributions. We believe in rolling up our sleeves and actively participating in the causes we care about. That’s why we’re thrilled to offer all our members a special day off to engage in a day of community service that’s close to their hearts. Whether it’s volunteering at a local shelter, cleaning up a neighborhood park, or mentoring youth, we empower our team to make a meaningful impact in their communities. Here’s to many more years of growth, innovation, and giving back! 🌟 #SeventhSenseConsulting #CommunityFirst #GiveBack #12YearsStrong #CommunityImpact #GivingBack #SeventhSenseCares

Three things we hotly debated in the kitchen during my recent volunteering stint at The Choir with No Name : 🤔 Why do people put butter in their baked beans? What can we do to help them? 🥪 Are you supposed to butter the bread when they are making tuna mayo sandwiches? 🧈 If you are making beans on toast, should you butter toast? One thing that was not debated: 🥧 Homity Pie is delicious (here is the recipe – thank me later) https://lnkd.in/d3vb3P7N Choir with No Name is based at St Martins Church in The Bullring. They provide an opportunity for people have experienced homelessness to come together and sing, perform and enjoy a hot meal served by volunteers. Thank you to Sharon Blackwell for organising this as part of Gowling WLG Responsible Business Strategy, and to the fabulous team at Choir with No Name. If you are a corporate organisation that provides volunteering opportunities to your staff, did you know that this generates around £16/hour of social value benefit to the local community? #WestMidlands #CharityWork #Volunteering #Choir #CorporatePartnership #SkilledVolunteering #SocialValue #LocalValue
