Food loss & waste is a huge issue, when ~40% of the world's food is never eaten.
That means that ~40% of the world's agricultural land, water, chemical inputs, and greenhouse gases *weren't even necessary* to feed the world.
And much of this waste ends up in landfills, where it releases methane.

The holiday season is here — a time for good food and good company! 🍽️ It’s also a reminder that reducing food loss and waste is one of the most effective climate solutions available today.

Heat pumps are the most efficiency heating technology ever invented.
That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water.
Compared to a gas boiler heat pumps deliver ~4x more heat for each unit of energy inout.
