Join us to celebrate Food Waste Prevention Week, April 7-13

Untitled-design-6

Clark County is committed to reducing food waste. On March 18th, the  Clark County Council officially proclaimed support for Food Waste Prevention week and joined the global movement to raise awareness during the week of April 7-13.

Clark County Green Neighbors is joining more than 700 organizations across the world to support Food Waste Prevention Week. The weeklong awareness campaign aims to inspire cultural changes that reduce food waste at home, work and in communities.

Up to 38% of all food produced in the United States goes uneaten, causing significant economic, environmental, and social repercussions.

Reducing wasted food:

  • Saves money - A family of four can save up to $3000 per year by reducing wasted food.
  • Conserves resources - Land, water, energy and human resources are used to grow, package and transport food. When food is wasted, so are resources.  

Celebrate Food Waste Prevention Week with Clark County Green Neighbors and learn more about how to save money on groceries and reduce climate impacts at the following events:
