The surprising climate benefits of sharing your stuff 

There's something simple we can all do to help the planet -- and it's probably not what you think. With one-third of all the food we produce globally each year being thrown away, entrepreneur Tessa Clarke believes that sharing more and wasting less is an underrated solution to the climate crisis.

The climate crisis feels distant, but household choices drive 65 percent of global emissions. One third of all food produced each year is wasted, creating more greenhouse gases than every country except the USA and China. Sharing unused food and household items, instead of throwing them away, can save resources, prevent waste, and build stronger communities. Small actions by millions of people have already diverted millions of meals from landfills and created real environmental impact.
