SUSTAINABLE EATING

Imperfect Foods 

Imperfect was founded to fight food waste by finding a home for the imperfect or “ugly” fruits and vegetables that farms couldn’t sell to grocery stores, but are perfectly edible. In 2020, Imperfect Foods’ last mile delivery system emitted around  12,800 tCO2e less than if each customer went to the grocery store themselves...that's equivalent to taking 2,800 cars off the road for a year!
