Our group, Eco Foodly aims to create several accessible online resources that will help promote the awareness of people regarding the negative effects of food waste and create an online petition with the goal of being a non-profit organization that empowers individuals with the knowledge they need to combat climate change by minimizing food waste.

​

Foods are not only wasted in our households. It is also common to see food waste at buffets, where the all-you-can-eat concept sees customers take more food than they can finish. It is found that at least 10 to 20% of prepared food goes to waste. Food waste is a problem so many overlooks. If restaurants reduce the amount trashed we wouldn't have such huge problems in our world such as global hunger and famine. We need to raise awareness of this issue or else companies will keep telling their employees to trash donuts, soups, bakery items, and so much more at the end of the day.
