Commitment: Every other Friday from 17:00-19:00 Overview: Do you despise food waste? Would you like to join the Food Rescue Team at Kaskantine? 😃 One of our primary goals is to prevent as much food as possible from becoming waste. Our volunteers play a crucial role in this effort. We're seeking a reliable and responsible person to join our team as a food rescue volunteer. In this role, you would join the Food Market volunteers who make the food rescue market possible. Food waste is a significant problem, affecting both food security and the environment. Roughly a third of all food produced worldwide is wasted, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Rescuing and redistributing food that would otherwise be discarded helps reduce waste and fight climate change. As a food rescue volunteer, you'll play an essential part in addressing this critical issue. Responsibilities:
Collaborate with others to set up the market, assist visitors and, in the end, compost leftovers and clean together
Qualifications:
Reliability, responsibility, and patience
Ability to safely operate a bike and transport food
Good interpersonal and communication skills
Environmental Impact of Reduced Food Waste:
According to Project Drawdown, "Approximately one-third of the world's food is never eaten. Reducing loss and waste can lessen the demand for land and resources used to produce food, as well as the greenhouse gases released in the process. After considering the adoption of a Plant-Rich Diet, Reduced Food Waste could avoid 88.50–102.20 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by 2050."
