Summary:
This is an article about a company based in California called food share. Food share is a company that collects extra food from grocery stores and ensures that people who are hungry and in need get the food. This helps prevent food waste and allows for people to get the food they need. It states that about 18% of the waste we put into landfill is food, and they are helping to stop this waste from becoming a problem.
Relation to Environmental science:
Because overstocking in stores is such a large problem, a company like Food share is doing a great job of creating a solution that benefits everyone. The people who do not have enough to eat get food and the environment is helped. This also shows that problems with the environment can be solved it just takes some effort from people to put together a solution. This company overall is helping about the community, in general, a lot.
This seems to be a great solution for food waste. I was wondering if this company is only present in California or if it plans to grow outside of our state and country?
This company is only in California at the moment, but I’m sure as their business grows they will expand.
