Feed Hungry People

We waste a lot of food. It's not good and if you want to waste less try here: http://www.lovefoodhatewaste.com/
It's an awesome site and has a link for 'how to use up leftovers'


Places in the US do some pretty cool things to try and reduce the wastage. For example, organisations recruit volunteers to visit farms after a harvest to pick up good produce left behind. In 2009, they saved and distributed 15.7 million pounds of produce.
Groups such as Food Runners, a non-profit in San Francisco run entirely by volunteers, deliver an estimated 10 tons of food each week to hungry people; otherwise, it would have been wasted. Taken from coffee shops, restaurants and supermarkets, this salvaged sustenance is used in shelters, soup kitchens, senior centers and other locations.

Give it a go. It helps hungry people AND the planet. Awesome :-)
