Pledge to Fight Wasted Food

wasted food pledge magnet

Did you know that 40 percent of the food produced in the United States goes uneaten? Wasting food wastes everything including water, labor, fuel, money and love.

The New York State Association of Reduction, Reuse, and Recycling (NYSAR3) is currently leading a statewide food recovery campaign to reduce wasted food, redirect surplus food to hungry New Yorkers, and to recycle remaining food scraps.

Together we can take actions at home that will reduce the amount of wasted food in New York State. Join the New York State Food Recovery Campaign in taking the Pledge to Fight Wasted Food!
