Too Good to Go lets you rescue food from the trash

 

It may not be something you’ve thought a lot about (unless you’re the parent of a toddler), but food waste is a severe problem in the world. Studies have found that there are around 2.5 billion tons of food wasted each year, and that the United States is particularly wasteful, leading the way with nearly 60 million tons per year. This is food that is made and then isn’t consumed like a piece of fruit that’s left on the counter too long and goes rotten or vegetables that wilt in the fridge and are tossed in the garbage. This also includes leftovers that make their way into the trash.
