I Spent a Week Eating Discarded Restaurant Food.

Too Good To Go, a Danish app for buying surplus restaurant and shop food at discount, is presented here as a way to reduce food waste, though the writer found it offers little direct proof of environmental impact. Over a week, the writer ate only food rescued through the app, paying between £3 and £6 per bag, with meals collected in person. Wowshee owner Ahmed El Shimi says the app helps cut his stall's waste by around 60 percent, while the app's CEO, Mette Lykke, says food waste contributes 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The writer says the app reports a vague "avoided" CO2 figure without explaining how it is calculated.
