UN urges people to clean their plates to cut food waste

The United Nations is calling on people to reduce food loss and waste, warning that discarded food is helping to fuel global warming. The campaign frames the problem in everyday terms – a half-eaten sandwich still carries the emissions used to produce it. Cutting waste at household and retail level is presented as a simple, immediate way to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Why now: The UN has launched a new appeal linking household food waste to climate change.
