Spirit Rosenberg from Great.com interviewed our Executive Director and Founder Adam Lowy as part of their ‘Great.com Talks With…’ podcast. This series is an antidote to negative news stories that aims to shed light on organizations and experts whose work is making a positive impact on the world.
Food waste in restaurants, grocery stores or in the process of moving homes largely contribute to larger issues of food waste within our communities. It can be difficult to make the connection between food waste and poverty, but it’s possible to address both issues at the same time. Adam speaks with him about how a childhood working with his family’s moving company transformed into action against food insecurity.
During the process of moving, we tend to throw away a lot: broken furniture, packaging materials and food in our pantries and refrigerators. Adam suggests that connecting individuals with their local food banks is a big step towards reducing food waste and addressing food insecurity in our own community.
