Merici Green Tip #14 - You will be shocked!
Submitted by mericiadmin on May 21, 2019 - 12:55pmIf food waste were a country, it would be the world's third largest emitter of greenhouse gases, behind the U.S. and China.
I was astounded to hear this last week at the Q&A session with the Director of the film 2040. In Australia up to 40% of the waste in an average household bin is food (Foodwise). Rotting food emits methane, a gas that is twenty-five times more warming in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.
