It's been reported that up to 40% of our food in America never gets consumed. Instead, much of that waste makes its way to landfills. As it breaks down, food waste produces the greenhouse gas, methane - a significant contributor to global warming.
Congratulations to June Ann, our January #EatGreenSTL giveaway winner!
Her #EatGreenSTL Instagram post from GDA member, Lulu's Local Eatery won a gift card to enjoy at another great Green Dining Alliance member restaurant! Congrats, June Ann!
