Food Waste = Climate Change Fuel. Here’s How You Can Fight Back from Your Kitchen
Let’s set the scene: You’re standing in your kitchen, fridge door open, staring down asuspicious-looking bag of salad mix that expired two days ago. You sigh.Toss it. Move on.
But guess what?
That bag of salad just fuelled climate change. 😱
Yep, it’s wild—but true. Every time we waste food; we’re not just wasting money. We’re tossing resources, energy, and a big ol’ puff of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
But here’s the twist: your kitchen could also be a climate-saving superhero HQ and it starts with what you do (and don’t) throw away.
🧪 The Dirty Truth: How Food Waste Heats up the Planet
Here’s why food waste is a big deal for the environment:
• When food ends up in landfills,it rots and releases methane,a greenhouse gas that’s 25x more powerful than CO₂.
• Growing, processing, packaging,and transporting food takes tons of energy and water.
• When we waste food, we alsowaste all the resources used to get it to our plates. Double ouch.
Food waste is responsible for 8–10% of global green house gas emissions. That’s more than the aviation industry.Yes, your uneaten lasagna pollutes more than planes. 😬
