New Law to Create National Food Waste Awareness Day

National Food Waste Day Law

Introduced Nov 3, 2022
Summary

This proposed law wants to create a new holiday. It would be called National Food Waste Awareness Day. The idea is to have one day each year where everyone focuses on how much food gets thrown away. This proposed law would affect everyone in Canada. It would encourage people to think about their own food waste. This includes families, businesses, and farms. They might start to waste less food. This matters because wasting food is a big problem. It costs money and hurts the environment. A special day could help people learn how to reduce waste. This could save money and help the planet.
