Convince Walmart to work with local leaders to reduce food waste

1 in 6 people are going hungry in the U.S. today, while 25% of the food supply goes to the landfill. We can change this.

Why is this important?

Persuade Wal-Mart to adopt a plan to recover food that is still fit for human consumption but is currently being thrown in the dumpster. Wal-Mart does a wonderful job with its food bank partnerships. But 1 in 6 people across America, once the most powerful country in the world, are going hungry in today’s rocky global economy. 96 billion pounds of food, 25 percent of the food supply ends up in the garbage each year. Grocers often toss products like dented canned goods, ripped boxes of cereal, bread, dairy and meat near or at the expiration date in the trash to make room for inventory. Help us work with Wal-Mart to set a standard for grocers around the world to recover this waste and aid national hunger – reducing costs for Wal-Mart, the environment and economy. Dream Big, Act Bigger.
