According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture about 40% of food goes to waste.

Food waste is responsible for roughly 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions and Too Good To Go app hopes to make a difference.

The app lets you buy leftover restaurant food at discounted prices. The goal is not only to reduce food waste but also have an impact on the environment. The app launched in Portland last May. Representatives say the community has already saved over 30,000 meals, with over 200 local partners like Coco Donuts.
