Too Good To Go

Too Good To Go created an app that allows you access to buying food that would otherwise end up being thrown away. They purchase the excess from restaurants, grocery stores, and businesses that would normally throw their excess food away and make it available for us to purchase through their app. According to research done by Too Good To Go, that is available on their website, 40% of food is wasted in the US. As individuals, we can help make a difference by working with this company to change our habits and make our waste accessible to others. Their site is packed with incredible information on how to store your food to make it last, how to shop with efficiency to help eliminate over buying and information on how much food waste contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions. They’re on a mission to change how much food waste we produce and we’re all about it.

This certified B Corp works to change how much food waste we produce targeting four main areas: Households, Businesses, Schools and Public Affairs. Did you know greenhouse gases are generated in every stage of food production from farm to fork? Food waste is responsible for 8% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. Since being founded in 2016 in Copenhagen, and now in 15 counties, this company has 41.5 million people in the world saving food with them, 82.8 million meals saved, and 103,186 cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, hotels and more are on board. The more who join this movement, the less waste, the more savings, and the happier our planet becomes.
