The Problem
Every year, over 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted, while millions go hungry and our planet suffers the consequences. This project, inspired by Jane Goodall’s message of hope and action, explores the overlooked connection between what we throw away and the warming of our world. When food is wasted, so are the precious resources used to produce it: land, water, labor, and energy. And once that food ends up in landfills, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide. As the global population grows and the threat of food scarcity looms, reducing food waste isn’t just a moral choice, it’s a climate imperative. Through our daily choices in the kitchen, we can help protect the planet and ensure a more sustainable future for everyone.
