Clean Plate Campaign goes social: #CleanPlateChallenge

September 28, 2020

The world is producing more food than we can finish. Yet, it is unevenly distributed, with the poor going hungry while food is being thrown away elsewhere.

Food from the Heart’s Clean Plate Campaign emphasises the importance of reducing food waste by creating awareness of the environmental and societal impact of food waste, and instilling the habit of mindful eating. The campaign is supported by sponsors, who will donate $1 for every Clean Plate counted.

We have collaborated with schools to bring the campaign to their students annually and now, we’re bringing it to the public online with the #CleanPlateChallenge!

1. Finish your food

2. Take a photo of your finished food and post it on Instagram or Facebook. Only posts by public accounts will be counted
