WE’RE CELEBRATING EARTH WEEK BY SHARING HOW WE CAN ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Hey, it’s Albi!

So far this semester, at dining halls across our university partners, we've tracked a staggering 42,162 pounds of food waste. To put that in perspective, that's like:

Imagine if we could reduce food waste at our universities by just 10%... That small change would save over 4,200 pounds of food and approximately 8 million gallons of water! 

TO PUT THAT WATER SAVINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE, THAT'S LIKE SAVING ENOUGH WATER FOR ABOUT 470,000 SHOWERS!

If the entire country reduced food waste by just 10%, we could save an incredible 8 billion pounds of food and a mind-boggling 14.8 trillion gallons of water every year! That's enough water to:

It’s so easy to feel like you’re an insignificant part of the problem, so why even make the effort to change? But every little piece adds up – that’s why we’re trying to spread the word, to show that all our small decisions can have a massive impact! 

Let’s make Earth Week EVERY week, by working together to reduce food waste and create a more sustainable future, one plate at a time.

Best,

The Albi Team
