The brownies are back

46,752 brownies

That’s the equivalent of how many brownies we’ve wasted so far this semester!

Hey, it's Albi! 

We decided to sweeten things up a little with this week’s analysis...the brownies are back!

Check this out:

Yep, you’re reading that right — in the first half of the week, we waste significantly more per person than we do later in the week!

When we convert that to brownies (because, well, who doesn’t love brownies?!), it translates to the equivalent of over 0.8 brownies each on Wednesdays!

That sad little brownie face says it all 😢 

But why should I care about brownies?

Even though it's not actual brownies, this contextualization helps us visualize the scale of food waste.

Imagine if we each reduced our food waste on Wednesdays but just half a brownie. Over the rest of the semester, that's a huge difference!

• Potential Savings: If we all reduced our waste by the equivalent of half a brownie on Wednesdays, we could save the equivalent of 4,207 brownies by the end of the semester — that’s a huge reduction in waste!

Thanks for being part of the movement! We’re excited to keep driving down waste together over the rest of the semester.

We’ll be back next week with more random waste facts. Until then, keep working hard and having fun, and remember to always eat smart!

Best,

The Albi Team
