New data from @ReFED shows a major opportunity to cut methane emissions through food waste reduction! Surplus food in the U.S. is responsible for nearly 4M metric tons of methane annually—equal to emissions from 75M cars! By rescuing surplus food with #TooGoodToGo, we’re helping reduce methane and fight climate change. Every meal saved is a win for the planet! 🌍 #FoodWaste #ClimateAction
