Join us to learn ‘first-hand’ from local community stakeholders about the toolkit developed as a direct result of a community pilot titled:  ‘Food: Too Good to Waste’.  This toolkit can be customized and used by any interested local government or community group.  By viewing this webinar you will hear and learn:
• How the West Coast Climate and Materials Management Forum communities collaborated to develop this toolkit focusing on 5 key waste prevention behaviors  to reduce wasteful household food habits
• How development of this toolkit resulted in both cost savings and environmental benefits
• At a retail value of $125 billion annually, Americans throw away about ¼ of all food purchases
• FACT: A family of four can save more than $1,600 a year by making small changes in how they shop, prepare and store food to prevent food waste
• Food is among the single largest, yet the least recovered, waste streams in the U.S.
• How this toolkit is tailor-able and can be used by any interested local government or community.
