Idea space: food waste
Rationale: According to UN project drawdown, reducing food waste would be one of the highest impact action to reduce CO2 emission.
Roughly ⅓ of all food world wide is wasted!!!
Observations: There are emerging projects to try to prevent food being thrown away as it arrives closer to its “best buy” or “consume buy” date. However, there are still LOTS of food that have passed their expiration date by 0 days, 1 day, 2 days that are thrown to trash contains by super/hyper markets (Ask me how I know this some time). Yet most of those foods are still perfectly edible. However, there is a responsibility issue where supermarkets do not want to give them out for free because they do not want to be responsible for possibly people being sick from the food.
Idea: In the same way as we sign liability waivers when we go do high risk sports (rock climbing in a gym etc..), couldn’t we figure out a way to sign a liability waiver where we take responsibility and the supermarkets are able to give out the foods for free.
