Food for thought

For every 1% waste reduction we save the equivalent of:

• the combined weight of 220 000 African elephants in fruits and vegetables
• enough water to fill 3.5 million Olympic-sized swimming pools
• nearly enough earth to cover the entire country of France
• about 4 million years worth of man hours
• enough fuel to drive around the world over 8 000 times
• CO₂ emissions equal to 45 million round trip flights between New York and Shanghai
• enough electricity to power all of New York City for over a year
