Every day, we waste enough food globally to feed every hungry child on earth. This vertical video explores the scale of food waste in the United States and its often overlooked environmental impacts. Through visuals of a Whole Foods at closing time, fresh food that could make it to the garbage, and everyday actions, this video shows how surplus food routinely ends up in landfills instead of on plates of hungry people.

When food decomposes, it releases methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that significantly contributes to the mass climate change we experience today. The video connects food waste to water use, energy, and rising emissions, while also highlighting simple solutions.

By buying what you need, paying attention to expiration dates, and saving food before its thrown away, individuals can reduce waste. Small choices add up, and every bite saved protects the planet while feeding people instead of landfills.
