Over 30% of food in the US ends up in the trash instead of feeding people. This waste is costing us money and hurting the planet! The US has two bi-partisan(!) bills in the works right now to take action to prevent food waste. Tell your reps to support them! protect.worldwildlife.org/page/88959/a...
