Goodfluence Bicycle Tour: Food Waste
It’s pretty easy to see that Rob Greenfield’s 2014 ride across the United States is becoming a campaign against food waste. When he kicked things off, Rob planned on promoting all sorts of good things that people could do for themselves, their community, and the world…..but the focus has been on dumpsters and the insane amount of food that goes wasted each day.
Once again, I’ll let Rob give you a quick update and share some upcoming dates with you:
America’s dumpsters are full of perfectly good food while there are 43 million Americans without enough food to put on their dinner table. I’m out to put an end to that. Grocery stores are going to stop dumping and start donating!
This …photo shows one days worth of dumpster diving by just myself and one other person in the Chicago area. And this is only a speckling of what I found. This my friends is the tip of the food waste iceberg.
I’m cycling across America and hosting six more of these events and need help in each city. Spread the word and contact me if you’d like to get involved in your city!
Detroit- August 31st

Washington DC- September 16th
