🌟 Let's talk about food waste during Eid al-Adha 🌟 As we celebrate Eid al-Adha, a time of sharing and generosity, let's also reflect on the importance of reducing food waste. This special occasion often involves large feasts and gatherings, but it's essential to be mindful of how much food we prepare and consume. 1. Plan your meals: Estimate how much food you'll need based on the number of guests. Avoid overbuying or preparing excessive quantities. 2. Use leftovers wisely: Be creative with leftover meat and dishes. They can be transformed into delicious new meals or frozen for later use. 3. Share with others: If you have excess food, consider sharing it with neighbors, friends, or those in need in your community. 4. Compost food scraps : Instead of throwing away food scraps, consider composting them to reduce landfill waste. 5. Educate and raise awareness: Discuss the importance of reducing food waste with family and friends. Encourage everyone to take small steps to minimize waste. Let's make this Eid al-Adha not only a time of celebration but also a time of mindful consumption and compassion towards our planet. Together, we can make a difference by reducing food waste and promoting sustainability. Eid Mubarak! 🌙

Last week was an exceptional celebration of environmental consciousness! In addition to #EarthDay, we also celebrated #StopFoodWasteDay.🍽️ Compass Group initiated this day and aims to raise awareness about the staggering issue of food waste and inspire action to combat it. Since 2017, Stop Food Waste Day has grown into a powerful movement, bringing together individuals, businesses, and organizations worldwide to tackle this pressing challenge. Here are three key insights that can benefit commercial industries: 1. Implementing food waste reduction strategies can lead to significant cost savings and operational efficiencies for industrial facilities. Businesses can streamline operations and enhance profitability by optimizing production processes, minimizing overstocking, and repurposing surplus food. 2. Reducing food waste benefits the bottom line and contributes to environmental sustainability. Industrial sectors play a crucial role in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, conserving natural resources, and minimizing landfill waste by implementing food waste reduction initiatives. 3. Engaging with local communities and stakeholders can foster positive relationships and enhance brand reputation. Industrial sectors can collaborate with food banks, charities, and nonprofit organizations to donate surplus food, support hunger relief efforts, and demonstrate corporate social responsibility. We're here to help commercial industries get started on their journey to minimizing food waste. We can walk you through a mini food waste audit and identify areas where you can impact positively. Reach out and start making a difference and contribute to a more sustainable future.

How we’re tackling food waste. At Eurostar, we believe that no crumb should go to waste. That’s why we’re doing our best to tackle food waste, support local communities, and protect our planet. Discover how every journey with us contributes to a more sustainable future: Redistributing unsold food 🤝 Unsold items from Eurostar Café find a new purpose through our partnership with Olio • Share More, Waste Less. This clever platform helps us donate our surplus food to local communities around London, ensuring that less food is wasted and more people benefit. Between 2022 and 2023, 14,338 items were donated in the UK alone. Additionally, in Paris, our unsold items are donated to associations, further reducing food waste and supporting those in need. Composting food waste ♻️ Leftovers from Premium, Business Premier, and Standard Premier are collected and transformed at local centres. In the UK, this waste is turned into fertiliser so it can be used on local farmland. Meanwhile, in France, we work with Les Alchimistes to transform our food waste into compost. It's then sold in garden centres, supermarkets, and DIY stores. Pain de Minuit partnership 🍺 We’ve partnered with a Parisian brewery that transforms surplus bread (that’s not been handed out on board) into beer. Despite only launching in May, this project has already transformed a whopping 183kg of bread. And guess what? You can buy the beer on our continental trains, closing the loop in our circular approach. At #Eurostar, we don’t just take you to your destination. We’re committed to making every journey more environmentally friendly and caring for the communities we connect. Together, let’s make every trip a step towards a more sustainable future.

#StopFoodWasteDay Today’s episode of Cartside 🛒 Convo’s it’s @stop_food_waste_day and we are asking Jimbo’s shoppers what the best, most sustainable way to prevent or deal with food waste is? 🚮 The most sustainable way to deal with food waste is called “Source Reduction”. The earliest way we can prevent food waste is by reducing the overall volume of food produced in general. If we buy less food or order less food, we create less food, annnd that means we’ll throw less out. This is about simply reducing waste by not creating it in the first place. & Allllsooooooo, ✅ Don’t buy or order food you won’t eat. ✅ Finish all your food. ✅ Eat your leftovers ✅ If possible, Limit what you purchase to your immediate use. ✅ Listen to you body, if you are full save for later! ✅ Only take what you can eat. ✅ Feed leftovers to animals or compost them. ✅ Do more with less ✅ Donate leftover or unwanted food. ✅ Don’t over indulge! *Disclaimer* 🚮 Waste practices can vary commercially and by incorporated and incorporated towns, townships, cities, counties & states. That’s what makes this whole waste industry thing so gosh darn silly. However waste collection and disposal tend to be improving all the time 💪 Please check with your local haulers for current accepted waste practices! We at Waste Wise & Allgoods Nonprofit, take pride in researching and verifying factual information to the best of our ability. If we have made an error, please reach out and provide your credible source. We will be happy to correct errors, if any.

Tackling Food Waste: A Community Effort for a Sustainable Future Food waste is a significant issue in Canada, with 58% of all food produced annually being lost or wasted. That’s nearly 35.5 million tonnes of food! Not only does this food waste contribute to 56.5 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions annually, but it also squanders the precious resources used to produce, process, and transport our food. Shockingly, 32% of this wasted food is still perfectly edible and could be redirected to support Canadians in need, according to Second Harvest. By redirecting this food, we can provide essential nutrition to those who need it most, reduce our environmental footprint, and promote a more sustainable food system. Read our story about food waste and what we plan to do about it: https://lnkd.in/gFQxKJJB At Greener Village, we are committed to making a difference. We’re building Atlantic Canada's first Perishable Food Rescue Centre, aiming to rescue and distribute over $4 million worth of food annually that would otherwise end up in landfills. Our approach involves: 1. Helping Farmers: Partnering with farmers to redirect imperfect and excess produce to our centre, where it’s processed into shelf-stable items. 2. Partnering with Grocers: Creating channels for products near spoilage or not meeting aesthetic standards to be rescued and repurposed. 3. Supporting Restaurants: Providing storage solutions for unused or unsold prepared food until it’s distributed to those in need. ✨ Join the THRIVE Campaign ✨ Food waste is not just an environmental issue; it’s a call to action. By supporting the THRIVE Campaign, you’re helping us build the Perishable Food Rescue Centre and ensure nutritious food reaches those in need. Your involvement can make a significant impact on the lives of many and promote a healthier, more sustainable future for all. Let’s work together to reduce waste, protect our environment, and ensure everyone has access to the nutrition they need. 🌎💚 #FoodWaste #Sustainability #FoodSecurity #THRIVECampaign #CommunityImpact
