Follow-Up on Donating Leftover Food

After I posted for Blog Action Day and recommended giving your leftover food away, green meeting expert Nancy Wilson happened to post more information on the law, the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, that makes this donation possible.

So next time you're told "it can't be done," you'll know better.

I'm so happy you wrote about this! It's so interesting because in high school/college I worked in four restaurants and saw every night, tons of food go to waste. When I asked my manager about using left overs, he replied with the same jargin of food safety, etc. That's interesting. I'm suprised more people aren't aware of that finding. Thanks, Alli :)

Thanks, Jessica. Sometimes I think it is just easier to say it can't be done than to deal with the logistics of doing it.
