After the holidays, our refrigerators often contain more than we can use. It's natural – we want everything to be perfect at the festive table. The problem begins when the excess food ends up in the trash.
According to the Institute of Environmental Protection – National Research Institute (IEP-NRI), over 2.5 million tons of food is wasted in Poland annually, with households responsible for nearly 60% of this waste. This demonstrates the significant impact our daily decisions have.
Where can you share?
Fortunately, there are places that allow you to act differently – locally and responsibly. The community fridge operating at the University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ Student Campus is one of them. It can be found on Lumumby Street, Å�ódź, to the left of the entrance to the Student Dormitories Administration building.
This space is open to everyone – students, employees and local residents alike. You can leave excess food there or use products shared by others.
A small gesture, a big impact
Sharing food is a simple way to reduce waste and support others at the same time. After the Easter holidays, it's especially important to remember that what seems like excess to us can be a real help to someone else.
Instead of throwing it away, share it. The community fridge at Lumumbowo is waiting.
