We can all work together in Harford County to help reduce food waste! ♻🍅🌽🌮🍝

Did you know that about one-third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted? In the U.S., that number is even higher, at 30-40%!

Food waste is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, especially when it ends up in landfills. Often, perfectly good food is thrown away simply because it's considered "ugly" or because of confusion over expiration dates.

Let's all do our part to reduce food waste and help fight climate change. Together, we can make a difference!
