More You Can Do

How about getting the importance and urgency about the Climate Emergency out to your friends and the general public by establishing a Zoom Session to discuss issues posted on the Haggard Earth Website.... or perhaps a Book Discussion Group- check out the Worth Reading for suggestions.....or even bring up Environmental Issues at a dinner or social gathering. Do you belong to a club- outdoor or other organization, then open up this important issue up for discussion.......or if you have really strong concerns and the extra time, work with others to establish a not-for-profit society to achieve positive environmental and social action- God knows at this desperate time we need more of them. The following organization is an exemplary example of this kind of action......                                FOOD STASH FOUNDATION.......Did you know? In Canada we waste 58% of the food we produce…That contributes 56.5 million metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent to the atmosphere every year. And yet, 1 in 6 children in BC are food insecure. In 2017 we were thrilled to become a part of the YVR Prep community and work out of this Burnaby-based food commissary. The access to cold storage gave us the ability to expand our programs and collaborate when the pandemic hit. In 2020, we were honoured to be recognized as finalists in the Burnaby Business Excellence Awards for 2020- for not for profit organization of the year, and environmental sustainability We owe this accomplishment to our staff, volunteers and community members who share and support our passion for eliminating waste and building food security.                    Food Stash Foundation has a two fold mission: reduce the environmental impact of food waste and bridge the food insecurity gap that exists within our community. Our Vision
Food Stash’s vision is a sustainable food system that supports healthy communities and a thriving environment
