Serendipity 7,821 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 France’s National Assembly this week voted on a new zero-waste policy that will require all supermarket chains to convert leftover food into animal feed, energy, or compost, or donate it to charity. Ultimately, the government hopes to slice food waste in half by the year 2025. Until now, many chains have been dumping their food into bins and “bleaching” it so that nobody else can take it. Now, grocery stores will be expected to sign contracts with various charities in order to give that food new life. The man who fought for this law, town councilman Arash Derambarsh, deserves much of the credit for its passing. http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/french-law-says-supermarkets-must-donate-recycle-food/#14325450034531&action=collapse_widget&id=0&data= I love this law It cringes me to know that there are people who find food to throw away while there are millions in the world who go to bed with a hungry stomach See talent here-->http://bit.ly/2eqeUxK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
