L.A. FOR LESS WASTE: REDUCE FOOD WASTE AT HOME
When food waste ends up in landfills, it creates greenhouse gases that have a negative effect on the environment. Prevent food waste by eating all the food you buy, or giving the extras to someone who needs it. Go the extra step to reuse your waste and compost.
Reducing food waste can help:
- Save you money on groceries
- Reduce our need for landfills
- Expand fresh food accessibility for all
- Increase the health of our local soil by composting food scraps and returning nutrients back into the ground
