Use the Food Social Media Toolkit

According to the EPA, more than one-third of the food produced in the United States is never eaten and food waste is the single largest type of material being landfilled or incinerated. The N.C. Division of Environmental Assistance and Customer Service (DEACS) has developed a set of ready-to-use social media posts to educate the public about reducing food waste at home. DEACS encourages local governments, organizations and interested individuals to use and share these tips to #UseTheFoodNC.
