About how many days
past the sell-by date can you eat eggs?
a) None, that’s gross
b) 3-5
c) 10-20
d) 20-35
![Page 6: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Let’s just say you weren’t quite
sure, so you put the egg in a
bowl of water. You know it’s still good to eat it if it:
a) Floats
b) Sinks
![Page 7: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Okay, let’s just say it floated and you
toss it. How many minutes of a shower
could you have taken with the water it took to produce the egg?
a) 5
b) 11
c) 25
d) 40
![Page 8: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
And what if instead of an egg, you
threw out a hamburger? How many minutes of showering then?
a) 20
b) 50
c) 75
d) 90
![Page 9: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
And let’s just say instead of one
hamburger, you threw out all the
turkey that gets thrown out over
Thanksgiving. How many New York –
San Francisco car trips would produce the same GHGs?
a) 800
b) 8,000
c) 80,000
d) 800,000
![Page 10: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Did you know

40 % of U.S. food is never
eaten

That’s approximately
$218 billion of food.
![Page 13: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
That’s enough to fill a semi-truck with
food every 20 seconds, all year.
![Page 14: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
It’s also about
1250 calories per person per day.
![Page 15: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
It would take a farm ¾ the size
of California to grow that much
food.
And as much water as California,
Texas, and Ohio use combined.
![Page 16: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Producing that food has a
greenhouse gas footprint equivalent
to
37 million cars
(ranked #3 of 100 top solutions to climate change
by Project Drawdown)
![Page 17: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
To add insult to injury,
food is the
number one contributor to landfills in the U.S.
![Page 18: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Meanwhile…
![Page 19: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1 in 8 Americansdon’t have a steady supply
of food to their table
![Page 20: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1/3 of all uneaten food in the country could
feed all food insecure Americans,
if it could be distributed.
![Page 21: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
And we’re going to need up to twiceas much food as we have to feed the
population in 2050.
If we keep wasting this much.
![Page 22: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Oh, and by the way…
Every $1 invested in food
waste reduction leads to a
5-10x return for food retailers.
![Page 23: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
It’s not just grocers
![Page 24: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
But as grocers, it’s important to think not
only about waste happening at your
stores, but also how you can reduce
waste for your suppliers, and your
customers.
Your Business
![Page 25: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
It’s best to start focusing efforts on high-
impact foods, like meat and dairy.

It’s also much better to
avoid having surplus in
the first place,
than to donate or
compost.(Like, 8 times better in terms of GHG
emissions)
![Page 27: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
So what did we do for this project?
![Page 28: Waste Less, Save More! How as](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051307/6279e992d311ad7f255fbd6c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What can natural foods grocers
do to waste less food?
