In the past 12 months, we've rescued more than 100,000 pounds of food; 32,000 cans and bottles of soda, beer, water, liquor, wine and champagne; over 2,500 floral arrangements; and hundreds of boxes of tote bags and unused event supplies.
The level of interest in planning green events is growing by leaps and bounds. It is a direct result of the mounting concerns over global warming and the pressing need to do something now to prevent matters from getting worse.
Climate change is not only affecting our planet, but also the people that inhabit it. The by-product of our increased CO2 emissions is generating more severe weather conditions resulting in an increased frequency of hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, floods, droughts, forest fires, and record-breaking temperatures. As a result of these natural disasters, thousands of people have lost everything they own and are being left homeless, hungry and without access to safe supplies of drinking water.
Every year, thousands of meetings and events take place throughout the world. Rescuing, recycling and re-purposing the excess from such programs can go a long way towards helping our planet and the people (and animals) that inhabit it. The following pages will provide you with a basic overview on the unique service we provide and the type of leftovers we rescue.
