Community Fridges: A Solution to Food Waste and Inequality
This European Week for Waste Reduction 2024, it’s time to act on food waste. Did you know over 59 million tonnes of food is wasted every year while millions face food insecurity?
We have teamed up with NIRN members The Playtrail and Creggan Countrypark to show how simple actions, like setting up a community fridge, can make a big difference in reducing waste, supporting families, and fostering a sense of solidarity.
Community fridges are a powerful way to redistribute surplus food, reduce waste, and help those in need. They’re a step towards a more sustainable and fair society.
Watch our new video to learn how to set up a community fridge in your neighbourhood and start making an impact today. Together, we can create a future that values people and the planet.
