WWF National Council meeting was held last week in DC. Grateful for the thousands of WWF scientists and staff who work around the globe. They are addressing a myriad of environmental issues including combating deforestation, bio-diversity loss, the climate crisis, and food waste.
As their most recent Living Planet report highlights, we are a planet in peril….YET, individuals and communities are making positive changes, finding solutions and the earth does heal.
One easy thing we can all implement is reduce food waste whether at home, school or work. Buy local and more often = healthier diets and less food waste.
