Reduced Food Waste – #3 – 70.53 gigatons reduced CO2
A third of the food raised or prepared does not make it from farm or factory to fork. Producing uneaten food squanders a whole host of resources – seeds, water, energy, land, fertilizer, hours of labor, financial capital – and generates greenhouse gases at every stage – including methane when organic matter lands in the global rubbish bin. The food we waste is responsible for roughly 8 percent of global emissions. –Paul Hawken
