Celebrate Stop Food Waste Day
Stop Food Waste Day is an international day of action in the fight against food waste which is a serious and growing problem. Roughly one-third of the food produced globally is either lost or wasted every year.
Launched in 2017 by Compass Group the global leader in foodservice, on this day consumers, corporates and influencers across +30 Compass countries will work together to raise awareness of the critical food waste problem and inspire change.
Food waste has become a severe epidemic across the world due to a lack of understanding of how to effectively use food and conserve it. Food waste, however, can be stopped.
Stop Food Waste Day aims to change the statistics of food waste, continuing to decrease it over time. Eventually, the holiday hopes to help those in need get the food they need and stop landfills from filling over.
History of Stop Food Waste Day
Stop Food Waste Day began back in 2017 by Compass Group, one of the world’s largest foodservice companies serving restaurants, cafes, hospitals, schools, and more. Compass Group committed to reducing food waste 25 percent by the year 2020.
This is as part of its mission to create a positive impact on people, the planet, and the food system. They serve 9.8 million meals daily in North America alone. The Compass Group focuses the efforts of its mission by teaching their chefs how to track and reduce waste as much as possible. They also seek to donate more than 250,000 pounds of food each year to local food banks.
Today, 45% of root crops, fruit, and vegetables produced globally are wasted per year as well as 33% of all food produced globally. With those percentages, there is a significant food waste epidemic that people are globally facing.
Stop Food Waste Day aims to educate people about their food waste and create impactful solutions to how people farm, produce, purchase, and use food. They have identified the possibility of 25% of food produced globally being able to feed 795 million hungry people in the world.
Stop Food Waste Day hopes to change the way leftovers are used so people can make the most significant advantage of what food people use.
Joke of the Day
- A bloke is trolling through King's Cross (Sydney, Australia) one night when he's approached by this delicious bird. Beautiful blonde hair, curves to make your mouth water and long, long legs, reaching all the way down to the ground.
"Hundred and fifty dollars," she says in a low, husky voice that makes the bloke's hair stand on end. And other parts of him, too.
"Only $150 and I'll do whatever you want. On one condition."
"What's that?" asks the bloke.
"Whatever you want for $150," says the blonde, "but you must say it in no more than three words."
"You're on," says the bloke, handing over $150.
"Great," breathes the blonde, "Now, in three words - what do you want me to do?"
And the bloke says: "Paint my house."

28th April – Blueberry Pie Day.
Celebrate with a big slice of blueberry pie and the hope that since it’s a holiday, the calories won’t count. Blueberry pies have been eaten in America since the first settlers arrived in the 16th Century. Blueberry pie is considered to be the easiest fruit pie to make because the blueberries themselves require no preparation besides a quick wash.

29th April – Zipper Day.
The day we appreciate the simple clasping mechanism that keeps our jeans closed, our dresses proper, and prevents all of our stuff from falling out of various bags. Elias Howe patented a precursor to the zipper in 1851, under the much less catchy name of “Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure”. At least 64 years and four additional engineers contributed to the debut of the modern zipper in 1925, where it was used for fastening boots and tobacco pouches. By 1930 zippers were used on children’s clothing because of how easy they are to use.
