Find tasty deals with a new anti-food waste app in Vancouver

Want an app that helps you save money and the planet?

According to Too Good To Go, a social impact company fighting food waste, 13,000 tonnes of food is thrown away in Vancouver every year.

The goal of the anti-food waste app is to bring that number down and empower people to fight food waste in their own communities.

By connecting businesses with excess food to hungry folks, anyone can rescue perfectly good meals from being thrown out. And, they’ll get the eats for an incredible value.

Reps say food waste is responsible for 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and  “reducing food waste is the #1 action we can take to help fight climate change.”

“In Canada, we waste over 50% of the food we produce. Vancouverites can help join the fight against food waste and make a difference,” they say.
