## Green Is Universal Launches #NoFoodWasted Campaign

For Earth Week, Green Is Universal is tackling food waste head-on. Moreover, the#
NoFoodWasted campaign encourages everyone to think before tossing leftovers. Food
waste remains a huge problem. In addition, nearly 40% of food in the U.S. goes uneaten.
Therefore, cutting waste can save money and help the planet.

### Raising Awareness Nationwide

NBCUniversal’s sustainability initiative, Green Is Universal, wants people to see
the impact of food waste. Moreover, the campaign shares tips for smarter shopping
and meal planning. In addition, it urges consumers to use leftovers creatively. 
Therefore, the focus is on simple changes with big results.

### Partnering for a Greener Future

The campaign brings together chefs, bloggers, and media outlets. Moreover, they 
share recipes, storage tips, and waste-cutting strategies. In addition, social media
amplifies these ideas using #NoFoodWasted. Therefore, people everywhere can join
the movement to reduce waste.

### Why Reducing Food Waste Matters

Food waste contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, rotting food in landfills
releases methane, a powerful pollutant. Cutting waste saves resources used in farming,
shipping, and refrigeration. In addition, it helps fight hunger by redirecting edible
food. Therefore, small changes at home support big environmental goals.

Last year NBCUniversal film & TV productions donated more than 28,000 meals worth of recovered food – over 36,000 pounds. Universal Orlando prioritized food waste reduction by diverting 594 tons of organic food material from the resort away from landfills in 2014. These efforts complement operational strategies and facility features that allow NBCUniversal to reuse and recycle materials, conserve water, utilize efficient lighting and manage controls to facilitate energy efficient operations.⌉](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/wpid-one-small-act-1024x622.jpg?quality=52&ssl=1)
