Food Waste, Climate Crisis, and Food Insecurity

Go Zero Food waste is a local campaign hosted by Greenpeace Toronto that works to raise awareness about food waste and how it impacts the environment, our climate, and our food system. It also aims to put pressure on grocery stores not to throw away large amounts of edible food but instead divert them to local food banks. Ann Foo, a Greenpeace volunteer and the founder of Go Zero Food Waste together with other volunteers worked to create an informational video that can be watched to learn more about this issue. Greenpeace Canada has also provided petitions and actions that can be taken to help create tangible change in our society concerning food waste.
