Why should I share food? Especially if I don`t get paid for it.
There are many global problems in the world and food waste is one of them. It's hard to believe that 30% of all produced food in the world is thrown away every year which leads to financial losses and environmental pollution. If food goes to the landfill, it produces methane - a greenhouse gas which is responsible for global warming. At the same time more than 800 million people are hungry globally. That is the main reason to share food.
About 25% of food waste is generated by households. Therefore, if you share good food, you don't only help other people, but also contribute to environmental protection. In addition FOOD TAKERS will be thankful to you!
