Gittemary Johansen | 10% of our food waste happens during Christmas 🤯 @Gittemary | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 40 minutes ago.
in a world where 30% of food is wasted, no one should go hungry for Christmas ♻️
last night volunteers from @stop_spild_lokalt all across the country picked up excess food from supermarkets all over Denmark and gave it to people who needed it - I was there to help out as much as I could
there were also gifts for the children and holiday decor made by the volunteers - every single person I spoke to had been working since the morning and was ready to work well I to the night to give others a good Christmas, and they couldn’t stop smiling
during the holidays, we waste more than any other time of the year, and it is incredibly easy to get caught up in the consumerism of Christmas - but it doesn’t have to be that way
it is up to ourselves to fix it and make this time of the year about something more than buying, wrapping gifts, and exchanging gifts we don’t need, or eating cheap meats that cost our planet more than we should be willing to pay, so why not start by giving back, being mindful with resources and helping others
in the end, the world “sustainability” is thrown around a lot in global discourse, at cop28, and in our government, and while some solutions should also come from there, most sustainability happens locally, like hundreds of small revolutions against perfectly good food that’s tossed in the bin
merry Christmas and happy holidays!🌿💚
