To bring awareness to the amount of plastic
that is ending up in our landfills, here are some

sustainable!
Save the Food
In America, 40% of food is wasted, and 1 in 4
people face food insecurity in Los Angeles
County. California is working to divert
compostable materials from landfills to
address climate pollution and recover edible
food. Since January 1, 2022, food waste
generators must participate in diversion
programs under SB 1383. SaveTheFood.com
offers resources to manage food waste
effectively, including:
Interactive Storage Guide
Learn how to store it best, how long it should
stay there, and what to do if a food item is a
little past prime.
Recipe Hacks
Give scraps and "past-its-prime" food a new
(and delicious) second life! Learn how to cook
everything from cilantro stems to that overripe
avocado on the counter.
