WRAP Americas is going LIVE with our first food waste prevention initiative! 🎉 Over the last5️⃣months, WRAP has been working closely with Sprouts Farmers Market, the City and County of Denver, Denver Department of Public Health and Environment , Denver Public Schools, and We Don't Waste, to co-design a series of messaged interventions around food edibility, which is widely misunderstood and one of the main causes of food waste. Distributed through Sprouts, schools, and other means, this initiative provides citizens with simple, practical steps to prevent food waste and ultimately save money 💰 Take a peak inside the press release 📰 to see the five key behavior changes our co-designed campaign focuses on >> https://lnkd.in/ebtGKxgP. And check-out the materials below! More to come as these all roll out around Denver! Interested in doing something similar in your city?!?!? Message me!

Keep your meals HOT TO GO and food waste low! Soccer practice, a late meeting, or a spontaneous takeout run—life happens! Sometimes, despite our best efforts to meal plan, we just don't get around to cooking every dish we prepped for the week. No one intends to buy food only to let it go to waste. Here's a smart tip: When planning your weekly meals, be a #FoodMaestro and schedule one less dinner to account for those unexpected takeout nights! #FoodWastePreventionWeek
