Want to save the planet while saving money on your next meal? Too Good To Go connects hungry customers with food that otherwise would end up in the trash usa_TooGoodToGo
is an app trying to be part of the solution to the food waste problem by selling it to you before it's thrown away.
Globally, more than one-third of food is wasted. In fact, 10% of greenhouse gasses are due to decomposing food. Airplane travel is only 1% of greenhouse gases, so this is the easiest way for consumers to have a positive environmental impact -- where it can be repeatable. "They're getting a great deal. They're getting delicious food and helping the environment," said Chris MacAulay, the managing director for Too Good To Go in the United States.
So, how does it work? Customers search on the app and pre-pay for the food at one-third of the retail price. It's a "surprise bag" of items that need to be sold soon, but it's from a business you know that wants to increase their customer base, so you are getting food they want you to try. MacAulay explains how it helps a business, "That push-pull of availability versus making too much is really one of the problems that we're solving here, and so, you're getting the food that they serve that they know is great and you're just getting it and keeping it from going in the trash."
