The future of food waste in Europe will hinge on a vote in 10 days time! Please share our petition far and wide to tip the balance: ow.ly/xynr3080eaD We’ve translated our petition into 10 languages to spread all round Europe so you can also share one of the translated versions below!
The crucial vote of the European Parliament’s Environment Committee is fast approaching on 24th January! The future of food waste in Europe will hinge on this moment!
We’re building a huge movement all around Europe to make sure we halve Europe’s food waste! We now have 40 organisations from 15 countries supporting us and over 44,000 people (27,000 on this petition, and 17,000 from our sister petition on Global Citizen). To build a truly Europe-wide movement, we’ve been busy over the past few months translating our petition into 10 different languages.
Please will you share our petition far and wide, to help us send a clear message to vote to halve EU’s food waste on 24th January? Share it with your friends, share it with groups you know who might be interested!
