Thanks to the team at #Gastropod for including ReFED's Dana Gunders on their recent episode about restaurant #foodwaste, along with Matt Jozwiak and Ken Baker from Rethink Food, Chris MacAulay from Too Good To Go, and Emily Broad Leib from Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic. ReFED estimates that the restaurant and foodservice sector generates about 13M tons of uneaten food each year. But solutions exist, and this discussion explores a bunch of them.

[WE NEED YOUR HELP!] How cool is this?? 🙌 Hunter Guthrie is a 16-year-old high school junior in Northern Virginia who wanted to help those struggling with #foodinsecurity. So he started a nonprofit in 2022 that recovers food at risk of going to waste from local restaurant chains like Chick-fil-A Restaurants, Crumbl, and Panera Bread and donates it to a local shelter—and so far he's recovered the equivalent of more than 700,000 meals! Now Hunter is one of three finalists in the "Cox Conserves Heroes" contest from Cox Communications for the Youth Hero Planet Protector Award, and if he wins, Cox will donate up to $30,000 to his charity of choice—that's right, it's ReFED! What can YOU do to help? Go to the link below to vote for Hunter! It's easy—you just need to provide your name and email address, plus you get to hear from Hunter himself about why he cares so much about this cause. https://lnkd.in/eYPSnmQN Thank you, Hunter, for the amazing work you're doing and for helping to support ReFED. 🍓 🍏 🍊 We're so grateful! Let's get him over the finish line! #foodwaste #sdg12 #sustainability
