Bring awareness on how much food is wasted with our current system!

This reminds me of how people who work in school cafeterias can be fired for giving leftover lunch food for children to take home.

For government reasons, perfectly good food is tossed every day.

Some people 'shop' for perfectly good groceries this way.

While on one hand it's very sad to observe the waste; and, on the other a budget-saver for many.

Peace.

Yup it's a little bit better here with some stores having 50% off on some things but so much more room for improvement, I have a design in mind of a store where the things that are starting to expire are in the end of the store instead of all the candy, built in composting system as well as a restaurant. Example from Japan

Great ideas.

Unfortunately, government regulations have people afraid of being sued. Stores would rather toss, and write off the debt.

Thankfully, it's not a total loss, and a benefit for many, especially college kids who find it a welcomed adventure.

Thanks for sharing a post on repurposing, giving and adding minimum to the landfills!

Peace.

True, but hopefully these abusive governments are soon just but a memory! ;) Thank you for the encouragement and support, fuels me to continue on my most important mission! :)
