  a
• 0:18
  fellow

  American
• 0:19
  standing

  We
• 0:21
  haven't
• 0:21
  interviewed
• 0:21
  any
• 0:21
  Americans
• 0:22
  yet.
• 0:22
  It's
• 0:22
  our
• 0:22
  first
• 0:22
  one
• 0:23
  of
• 0:23
  the
• 0:23
  day,
• 0:23
  right?
• 0:23
  Yes,
• 0:24
  first
• 0:24
  Yankee,
• 0:25
  no
• 0:26
  accent
• 0:26
  for
• 0:26
  us,
• 0:27
  right?
• 0:27
  Yeah,
• 0:29
  no.
• 0:29
  All
• 0:29
  right,
• 0:30
  but
• 0:30
  so
• 0:30
  food
• 0:30
  waste,
• 0:31
  let's
• 0:31
  start
• 0:31
  with.
• 0:32
  So
• 0:32
  it's
• 0:32
  a
• 0:32
  global
• 0:32
  issue,
• 0:34
  you
• 0:34
  know,
• 0:34
  why.
• 0:35
  But
• 0:35
  why
• 0:36
  is
• 0:36
  it
• 0:36
  a
• 0:36
  global
• 0:37
  issue?
• 0:37
  Why
• 0:37
  is.
• 0:37
  Why
• 0:37
  should
• 0:38
  it
• 0:38
  be
• 0:38
  such
• 0:38
  a
• 0:38
  concern?
• 0:39
  Well,
• 0:39
  one,
• 0:39
  everybody
• 0:40
  eats.
• 0:41
  Last
• 0:41
  I
• 0:41
  checked,
• 0:42
  it's
• 0:42
  a
• 0:42
  necessity.
• 0:43
  You
• 0:43
  know,
• 0:43
  clean
• 0:44
  air,
• 0:44
  clean
• 0:44
  water
• 0:44
  and
• 0:45
  food.
• 0:46
  Everybody
• 0:46
  has
• 0:46
  to
• 0:46
  have
• 0:47
  it.
• 0:47
  And
• 0:48
  for
• 0:48
  us
• 0:48
  at
• 0:48
  World
• 0:49
  Wildlife
• 0:49
  Fund,
• 0:49
  a
• 0:49
  lot
• 0:49
  of
• 0:50
  the
• 0:50
  times
• 0:50
  I
• 0:50
  get
• 0:50
  questions
• 0:51
  of
• 0:51
  why
• 0:51
  do
• 0:51
  we
• 0:51
  focus
• 0:52
  so
• 0:52
  much
• 0:52
  attention
• 0:53
  on
• 0:53
  food
• 0:53
  loss
• 0:53
  and
• 0:54
  food
• 0:54
  waste?
• 0:54
  And
• 0:55
  actually,
• 0:55
  when
• 0:56
  you
• 0:56
  look
• 0:56
  at
• 0:56
  the
• 0:56
  statistic,
• 0:57
  it's
• 0:57
  about
• 0:57
  40%
• 0:59
  of
• 0:59
  the
• 1:00
  entire
• 1:00
  global
• 1:01
  food
• 1:01
  supply
• 1:01
  chain
• 1:02
  is
• 1:02
  lost
• 1:02
  or
• 1:02
  wasted,
• 1:03
  which
• 1:03
  is
• 1:03
  a
• 1:04
  number
• 1:04
  that
• 1:04
  just
• 1:04
  blows
• 1:05
  people's
• 1:05
  minds.
• 1:07
  And
• 1:07
  when
• 1:07
  you
• 1:07
  look
• 1:08
  at
• 1:08
  that
• 1:08
  waste,
• 1:09
  what
• 1:10
  does
• 1:10
  it
• 1:10
  take
• 1:10
  to
• 1:10
  grow
• 1:10
  food?
• 1:11
  It
• 1:11
  takes
• 1:11
  a
• 1:11
  lot
• 1:11
  of
• 1:11
  land,
• 1:12
  a
• 1:12
  lot
• 1:12
  of
• 1:12
  water,
• 1:13
  a
• 1:13
  lot
• 1:13
  of
• 1:13
  resources.
• 1:15
  And
• 1:15
  often
• 1:15
  it's
• 1:16
  the
• 1:16
  sacrifice
• 1:17
  of
• 1:17
  wildlife
• 1:18
  habitat
• 1:18
  that
• 1:19
  is
• 1:19
  a
• 1:19
  big
• 1:20
  part
• 1:20
  of
• 1:20
  food
• 1:20
  production.
• 1:21
  And
• 1:22
  so
• 1:23
  it's
• 1:24
  a
• 1:24
  major
• 1:24
  goal
• 1:24
  for
• 1:24
  us,
• 1:25
  like
• 1:25
  food
• 1:25
  system
• 1:25
  and
• 1:26
  land
• 1:26
  use.
• 1:27
  And
• 1:27
  land
• 1:27
  use
• 1:28
  use
• 1:28
  change
• 1:28
  is
• 1:28
  a
• 1:29
  major,
• 1:29
  major
• 1:29
  program
• 1:30
  at
• 1:30
  World
• 1:30
  Wildlife
• 1:30
  Fund
• 1:31
  because
• 1:31
  it
• 1:31
  has
• 1:31
  a
• 1:31
  direct
• 1:32
  impact
• 1:32
  on
• 1:32
  nature.
• 1:33
  Yeah.
• 1:33
  You
• 1:33
  just
• 1:34
  launched
• 1:34
  something
• 1:34
  called
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  Global
• 1:35
  Farm
• 1:36
  Loss
• 1:36
  Tool
• 1:37
  with
• 1:37
  cgf,
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  Consumer
• 1:39
  Goods
• 1:39
  Forum.
• 1:39
  Tell
• 1:40
  us
• 1:40
  a
• 1:40
  little
• 1:40
  bit
• 1:40
  about
• 1:41
  that
• 1:41
  and
• 1:41
  what
• 1:41
  that
• 1:42
  is
• 1:42
  designed
• 1:43
  to
• 1:43
  do.
• 1:44
  So
• 1:44
  a
• 1:44
  huge
• 1:45
  amount
• 1:45
  of
• 1:45
  food
• 1:46
  actually
• 1:46
  never
• 1:46
  leaves
• 1:47
  the
• 1:47
  farm.
• 1:48
  And
• 1:49
  when
• 1:49
  you
• 1:49
  look
• 1:49
  at
• 1:50
  all
• 1:50
  the
• 1:50
  food
• 1:51
  that
• 1:51
  doesn't
• 1:51
  even
• 1:51
  get
• 1:52
  into
• 1:52
  the
• 1:52
  marketplace,
• 1:53
  a
• 1:54
  lot
• 1:54
  of
• 1:54
  times
• 1:54
  it
• 1:55
  is
• 1:56
  just
• 1:56
  because
• 1:57
  it
• 1:57
  maybe
• 1:57
  has
• 1:57
  blemishes
• 1:58
  or
• 1:58
  it's
• 1:58
  not
• 1:59
  marketable
• 1:59
  the
• 1:59
  way
• 1:59
  we
• 1:59
  like
• 2:00
  to
• 2:00
  typically
• 2:00
  see
• 2:00
  it
• 2:00
  even
• 2:01
  go.
• 2:01
  It's
• 2:02
  just
• 2:02
  like
• 2:02
  it
• 2:02
  just
• 2:03
  sits
• 2:03
  in
• 2:03
  a.
• 2:03
  It'll
• 2:03
  get
• 2:04
  tilled
• 2:04
  in
• 2:04
  the
• 2:05
  soil
• 2:05
  or
• 2:05
  it's
• 2:05
  lost
• 2:06
  in
• 2:06
  transition
• 2:06
  or.
• 2:07
  Or
• 2:07
  in
• 2:07
  transportation.
• 2:08
  Oh,
• 2:08
  wow.
• 2:09
  And
• 2:09
  so,
• 2:10
  yeah,
• 2:10
  so
• 2:10
  a
• 2:11
  big
• 2:11
  part
• 2:11
  of
• 2:11
  this
• 2:11
  is
• 2:11
  actually
• 2:12
  looking
• 2:12
  to
• 2:12
  measure
• 2:13
  it.
• 2:13
  Okay.
• 2:14
  Looking
• 2:14
  to
• 2:14
  see
• 2:15
  how
• 2:15
  much
• 2:15
  is
• 2:15
  there,
• 2:16
  not
• 2:16
  from
• 2:16
  an
• 2:16
  academic
• 2:17
  perspective,
• 2:17
  but
• 2:18
  to
• 2:18
  find
• 2:18
  marketable
• 2:19
  options
• 2:19
  for
• 2:19
  how
• 2:20
  do
• 2:20
  we
• 2:20
  get
• 2:20
  more
• 2:20
  edible
• 2:21
  food
• 2:21
  back
• 2:21
  into
• 2:22
  the
• 2:22
  supply
• 2:22
  chain
• 2:23
  and
• 2:23
  find
• 2:23
  alternative
• 2:24
  channels
• 2:24
  for
• 2:25
  it
• 2:25
  to
• 2:25
  be
• 2:25
  sold
• 2:26
  and
• 2:26
  to
• 2:26
  go
• 2:27
  to
• 2:27
  people.
• 2:27
  That's
• 2:27
  the
• 2:27
  ultimate
• 2:28
  purpose.
• 2:29
  Is
• 2:29
  that
• 2:29
  where
• 2:29
  like
• 2:29
  an
• 2:29
  Imperfect
• 2:30
  foods
• 2:30
  comes
• 2:31
  in
• 2:31
  or
• 2:31
  one
• 2:31
  of
• 2:31
  these
• 2:31
  companies.
• 2:32
  Okay,
• 2:32
  absolutely,
• 2:33
  yeah.
• 2:34
  And
• 2:35
  again,
• 2:35
  the
• 2:35
  goal
• 2:35
  is
• 2:36
  when
• 2:36
  you
• 2:36
  have
• 2:37
  such
• 2:37
  a
• 2:37
  huge
• 2:37
  footprint
• 2:38
  of
• 2:38
  water,
• 2:39
  energy,
• 2:39
  land
• 2:40
  that
• 2:40
  goes
• 2:40
  into
• 2:40
  food
• 2:41
  production,
• 2:41
  you
• 2:41
  want
• 2:42
  to
• 2:42
  see
• 2:42
  that
• 2:42
  food
• 2:42
  go
• 2:42
  to
• 2:43
  people.
• 2:43
  Yeah,
• 2:43
  right.
• 2:45
  We
• 2:45
  live
• 2:45
  on
• 2:46
  a
• 2:46
  planet
• 2:46
  now
• 2:46
  where
• 2:46
  we're
• 2:47
  having
• 2:47
  8,
• 2:48
  9,
• 2:49
  potentially
• 2:50
  10
• 2:50
  billion
• 2:50
  people.
• 2:51
  There
• 2:51
  is
• 2:52
  not
• 2:52
  there,
• 2:53
  there
• 2:53
  is
• 2:53
  not
• 2:53
  a
• 2:53
  margin
• 2:53
  of
• 2:54
  error
• 2:54
  here.
• 2:54
  Like
• 2:54
  when
• 2:55
  you
• 2:55
  have
• 2:55
  to
• 2:55
  feed
• 2:55
  that
• 2:55
  many
• 2:56
  people
• 2:56
  on
• 2:56
  a
• 2:56
  planet
• 2:57
  with
• 2:57
  finite
• 2:57
  resources,
• 2:58
  you
• 2:58
  can't
• 2:58
  afford
• 2:58
  to
• 2:59
  have
• 2:59
  loss
• 2:59
  of
• 2:59
  food
• 2:59
  at
• 3:00
  any
• 3:00
  part
• 3:00
  in
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  supply
• 3:01
  chain.
• 3:01
  So
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  that
• 3:02
  point,
• 3:02
  one
• 3:02
  of
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  things
• 3:02
  I've
• 3:02
  heard
• 3:03
  you,
• 3:03
  I've
• 3:03
  talked,
• 3:03
  I
• 3:04
  read.
• 3:04
  Actually
• 3:04
  I
• 3:05
  haven't
• 3:05
  heard
• 3:05
  you,
• 3:05
  I
• 3:05
  read
• 3:05
  about
• 3:06
  this
• 3:06
  as
• 3:06
  we
• 3:06
  were
• 3:06
  doing
• 3:06
  the
• 3:07
  preparation
• 3:07
  for
• 3:07
  this
• 3:07
  interview
• 3:08
  that
• 3:08
  you've
• 3:08
  called
• 3:08
  food
• 3:08
  waste
• 3:09
  a
• 3:09
  gateway
• 3:10
  issue
• 3:10
  to
• 3:11
  sustain
• 3:11
  sustainability
• 3:12
  efforts.
• 3:13
  Is
• 3:14
  that
• 3:14
  part
• 3:14
  of
• 3:14
  this?
• 3:14
  Or
• 3:15
  what
• 3:15
  did
• 3:15
  you
• 3:15
  mean,
• 3:15
  what
• 3:16
  do
• 3:16
  you
• 3:16
  mean
• 3:16
  by
• 3:16
  that
• 3:16
  as
• 3:16
  an
• 3:17
  organization?
• 3:18
  So
• 3:19
  working
• 3:19
  in
• 3:19
  the,
• 3:19
  in
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  world
• 3:20
  of
• 3:20
  waste,
• 3:21
  I
• 3:21
  think
• 3:21
  it's
• 3:21
  a
• 3:21
  very
• 3:22
  non
• 3:22
  contentional
• 3:23
  issue.
• 3:24
  I
• 3:24
  think
• 3:24
  everybody
• 3:25
  can
• 3:25
  agree,
• 3:26
  right?
• 3:27
  That
• 3:27
  nobody
• 3:27
  likes
• 3:27
  to
• 3:28
  see
• 3:28
  waste.
• 3:28
  Yeah.
• 3:29
  And
• 3:29
  so
• 3:30
  what
• 3:30
  that
• 3:30
  does
• 3:31
  is
• 3:31
  it
• 3:31
  forces
• 3:32
  people
• 3:32
  to
• 3:33
  look
• 3:33
  at
• 3:34
  what
• 3:34
  are
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  environmental
• 3:35
  footprints
• 3:36
  of
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  food
• 3:36
  system
• 3:37
  and
• 3:37
  to
• 3:38
  address
• 3:38
  it
• 3:38
  from
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  perspective
• 3:39
  of
• 3:39
  reducing
• 3:40
  waste,
• 3:40
  which
• 3:40
  everybody
• 3:41
  can
• 3:41
  agree
• 3:41
  on.
• 3:42
  And
• 3:42
  it
• 3:42
  gets
• 3:42
  governments
• 3:43
  on
• 3:43
  board,
• 3:43
  it
• 3:44
  gets
• 3:44
  companies
• 3:44
  on
• 3:45
  board.
• 3:45
  Like
• 3:45
  it
• 3:45
  creates
• 3:46
  this
• 3:46
  platform
• 3:47
  where
• 3:48
  you
• 3:48
  have
• 3:48
  a
• 3:48
  consensus,
• 3:49
  but
• 3:50
  then
• 3:50
  it
• 3:50
  forces
• 3:51
  that
• 3:51
  reflection
• 3:52
  on
• 3:53
  how
• 3:53
  intensive
• 3:54
  food
• 3:54
  systems
• 3:55
  are
• 3:55
  in
• 3:55
  terms
• 3:55
  of
• 3:56
  resource
• 3:56
  use
• 3:56
  on
• 3:56
  the
• 3:57
  planet.
• 3:57
  And
• 3:57
  what
• 3:58
  have
• 3:58
  you,
• 3:58
  what,
• 3:58
  like
• 3:58
  what
• 3:59
  have
• 3:59
  you
• 3:59
  developed
• 4:00
  or
• 4:00
  been
• 4:00
  a
• 4:00
  part
• 4:00
  of
• 4:00
  in
• 4:00
  terms
• 4:01
  of
• 4:01
  partnerships
• 4:01
  that
• 4:02
  has,
• 4:02
  has,
• 4:03
  has
• 4:04
  been
• 4:04
  productive
• 4:05
  to
• 4:05
  that
• 4:05
  end.
• 4:06
  So
• 4:06
  when
• 4:07
  I
• 4:07
  first
• 4:07
  started
• 4:07
  this
• 4:07
  job
• 4:08
  and
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08
  actually
• 4:08
  had
• 4:08
  my
• 4:08
  10
• 4:09
  year
• 4:09
  anniversary
• 4:09
  in
• 4:09
  this
• 4:10
  job
• 4:10
  a
• 4:10
  couple
• 4:10
  days
• 4:11
  ago.
• 4:11
  Congrats.
• 4:11
  Yeah.
• 4:12
  I
• 4:13
  had
• 4:13
  the
• 4:13
  huge
• 4:13
  luxury
• 4:14
  of
• 4:14
  WWF
• 4:15
  having
• 4:15
  all
• 4:15
  of
• 4:15
  these
• 4:16
  corporate
• 4:17
  partnerships
• 4:17
  all
• 4:17
  over
• 4:17
  the
• 4:18
  world.
• 4:18
  Yeah.
• 4:19
  One
• 4:19
  of
• 4:19
  the
• 4:19
  first
• 4:20
  ones
• 4:20
  I
• 4:20
  was
• 4:21
  part
• 4:21
  of
• 4:21
  was
• 4:21
  our
• 4:21
  Hilton
• 4:22
  Hotels
• 4:23
  partnership.
• 4:25
  And
• 4:25
  so
• 4:25
  we
• 4:25
  immediately
• 4:26
  started
• 4:26
  working
• 4:26
  in
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  hotel
• 4:27
  sector
• 4:28
  and
• 4:28
  looking
• 4:28
  at
• 4:29
  how
• 4:29
  much
• 4:29
  food
• 4:30
  waste
• 4:30
  is
• 4:30
  generated
• 4:31
  with
• 4:31
  hotels
• 4:32
  and
• 4:32
  venues
• 4:32
  all
• 4:32
  over
• 4:33
  the
• 4:33
  world.
• 4:33
  And
• 4:34
  you
• 4:34
  know,
• 4:34
  that
• 4:35
  grew
• 4:35
  to
• 4:35
  a,
• 4:35
  to
• 4:35
  a
• 4:36
  platform
• 4:36
  and
• 4:37
  a
• 4:37
  program
• 4:37
  that
• 4:37
  wasn't
• 4:37
  just
• 4:38
  with
• 4:38
  Hilton,
• 4:38
  it
• 4:38
  was
• 4:38
  with
• 4:38
  Marriott
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  the
• 4:39
  entire
• 4:40
  industry.
• 4:41
  And
• 4:41
  so
• 4:42
  I
• 4:42
  think
• 4:42
  that's
• 4:42
  one
• 4:43
  thing
• 4:43
  that's
• 4:43
  a
• 4:43
  really
• 4:43
  great
• 4:44
  part
• 4:44
  of
• 4:44
  WWF
• 4:45
  is
• 4:46
  companies
• 4:46
  like
• 4:46
  to
• 4:47
  work
• 4:47
  with
• 4:47
  us.
• 4:47
  We
• 4:47
  have
• 4:47
  this
• 4:48
  great
• 4:48
  brand
• 4:48
  and
• 4:49
  platform
• 4:49
  where
• 4:49
  it
• 4:50
  brings
• 4:50
  people
• 4:50
  in,
• 4:50
  it
• 4:50
  convenes
• 4:51
  groups.
• 4:52
  And
• 4:52
  so
• 4:52
  the
• 4:53
  hospitality
• 4:53
  industry
• 4:53
  is
• 4:54
  one
• 4:54
  that
• 4:54
  we've
• 4:54
  been
• 4:54
  working
• 4:54
  with
• 4:55
  for
• 4:55
  a
• 4:55
  long
• 4:55
  time.
• 4:55
  That's
• 4:56
  led
• 4:56
  to
• 4:56
  retail
• 4:56
  partnerships,
• 4:57
  that's
• 4:57
  led
• 4:57
  to
• 4:58
  manufacturing
• 4:59
  partnerships,
• 4:59
  cgf.
• 5:00
  I
• 5:00
  mean
• 5:00
  it's.
• 5:01
  Yeah,
• 5:01
  it
• 5:01
  seems
• 5:01
  like
• 5:01
  the
• 5:01
  hospitality
• 5:02
  industry
• 5:02
  does
• 5:02
  take
• 5:02
  the
• 5:02
  lead
• 5:03
  on
• 5:03
  that
• 5:03
  type
• 5:03
  of
• 5:03
  thing.
• 5:03
  I
• 5:03
  mean,
• 5:03
  I've
• 5:04
  noticed
• 5:04
  here,
• 5:04
  like
• 5:04
  in,
• 5:05
  in
• 5:05
  Europe,
• 5:05
  in
• 5:05
  our
• 5:05
  travels
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  last
• 5:06
  two
• 5:06
  weeks,
• 5:06
  like
• 5:06
  I've
• 5:07
  not
• 5:07
  seen
• 5:07
  a
• 5:07
  bar
• 5:07
  of
• 5:08
  soap
• 5:08
  in
• 5:09
  any
• 5:09
  hotel
• 5:09
  that
• 5:09
  I've
• 5:09
  been
• 5:10
  in.
• 5:10
  Like,
• 5:10
  you
• 5:10
  know,
• 5:10
  as
• 5:10
  an
• 5:11
  example.
• 5:11
  Yeah,
• 5:12
  they're,
• 5:12
  they're
• 5:12
  an
• 5:12
  industry
• 5:13
  that
• 5:13
  they,
• 5:13
  I've
• 5:14
  noticed
• 5:14
  they
• 5:14
  like
• 5:15
  to
• 5:15
  work
• 5:15
  together
• 5:15
  pre
• 5:16
  competitively.
• 5:16
  Okay.
• 5:17
  It's
• 5:18
  natural
• 5:18
  for
• 5:18
  them
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  do
• 5:19
  things
• 5:20
  together.
• 5:21
  I
• 5:21
  come
• 5:22
  from
• 5:22
  the
• 5:22
  retail
• 5:22
  grocery
• 5:23
  industry.
• 5:23
  Yeah.
• 5:24
  Sometimes
• 5:24
  it's
• 5:24
  really
• 5:25
  tough
• 5:25
  to
• 5:25
  get
• 5:25
  that
• 5:25
  industry
• 5:26
  to
• 5:26
  like
• 5:26
  work
• 5:26
  pretty
• 5:27
  competitively
• 5:27
  together.
• 5:28
  But
• 5:28
  you
• 5:28
  know
• 5:29
  what,
• 5:29
  they've
• 5:29
  done
• 5:29
  that.
• 5:29
  On
• 5:29
  the
• 5:30
  issue
• 5:30
  of
• 5:30
  waste,
• 5:30
  and
• 5:30
  you're
• 5:31
  starting
• 5:31
  to
• 5:31
  see
• 5:31
  that
• 5:31
  with
• 5:32
  waste
• 5:32
  issues.
• 5:32
  Is
• 5:32
  that
• 5:33
  issue
• 5:33
  true?
• 5:33
  More
• 5:33
  intra
• 5:34
  country
• 5:34
  versus
• 5:35
  inter
• 5:35
  country?
• 5:36
  I
• 5:37
  know
• 5:37
  that
• 5:37
  is
• 5:37
  true
• 5:37
  in
• 5:37
  the
• 5:38
  US
• 5:38
  Maybe
• 5:39
  because
• 5:39
  that's
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  context
• 5:40
  that
• 5:40
  I
• 5:41
  grew
• 5:41
  up
• 5:41
  in.
• 5:41
  Right.
• 5:42
  But
• 5:43
  I'm
• 5:43
  sure
• 5:44
  when
• 5:44
  you
• 5:45
  look
• 5:45
  at
• 5:45
  it
• 5:45
  globally,
• 5:45
  if
• 5:46
  you're
• 5:46
  not
• 5:46
  in
• 5:46
  the
• 5:47
  same
• 5:47
  retail
• 5:48
  footprint
• 5:48
  as
• 5:48
  another
• 5:49
  competitor,
• 5:50
  there
• 5:50
  probably
• 5:50
  wouldn't
• 5:50
  be
• 5:51
  a
• 5:51
  reluctance
• 5:51
  to
• 5:51
  work
• 5:51
  together.
• 5:52
  You
• 5:52
  know,
• 5:52
  you're
• 5:53
  more
• 5:53
  apt
• 5:53
  to
• 5:53
  share.
• 5:53
  We
• 5:53
  heard
• 5:54
  that
• 5:54
  from
• 5:54
  someone
• 5:54
  from
• 5:54
  Singapore
• 5:55
  this
• 5:55
  morning.
• 5:55
  That's
• 5:56
  why
• 5:56
  I
• 5:56
  was
• 5:56
  asking
• 5:56
  the
• 5:57
  question.
• 5:57
  Yeah,
• 5:57
  interesting.
• 5:58
  Yeah.
• 5:58
  Well,
• 5:59
  Pete,
• 5:59
  I'm,
• 5:59
  I'm
• 6:00
  curious.
• 6:00
  You
• 6:00
  know,
• 6:01
  we,
• 6:01
  I
• 6:01
  think
• 6:01
  we
• 6:01
  often
• 6:02
  hear
• 6:02
  the
• 6:02
  term
• 6:02
  food
• 6:03
  waste,
• 6:03
  especially
• 6:03
  in
• 6:04
  America,
• 6:04
  and
• 6:04
  I
• 6:04
  think
• 6:04
  that
• 6:05
  we
• 6:05
  think
• 6:05
  it's,
• 6:06
  you
• 6:06
  know,
• 6:06
  specifically
• 6:06
  related
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  hunter
• 6:07
  hunger.
• 6:08
  Not
• 6:08
  so
• 6:08
  much
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  impact
• 6:09
  that
• 6:10
  it
• 6:10
  has
• 6:10
  on
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  environment.
• 6:11
  But
• 6:11
  can
• 6:11
  you
• 6:12
  kind
• 6:12
  of
• 6:12
  break
• 6:13
  down
• 6:13
  some
• 6:14
  of
• 6:14
  the
• 6:14
  impacts
• 6:15
  that
• 6:15
  this
• 6:15
  is
• 6:15
  having
• 6:15
  beyond,
• 6:16
  you
• 6:16
  know,
• 6:17
  just
• 6:17
  food
• 6:17
  going
• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  waste
• 6:18
  and
• 6:18
  not
• 6:18
  being
• 6:19
  able
• 6:19
  to
• 6:19
  feed
• 6:19
  people?
• 6:19
  Like
• 6:20
  what's
• 6:20
  happening
• 6:21
  with
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  environment?
• 6:22
  What
• 6:23
  other
• 6:23
  impacts
• 6:23
  does
• 6:24
  that
• 6:24
  have?
• 6:24
  So
• 6:25
  I
• 6:25
  mentioned
• 6:25
  up
• 6:25
  front
• 6:26
  the
• 6:26
  embedded
• 6:26
  resources
• 6:27
  that
• 6:27
  go
• 6:27
  into
• 6:27
  food
• 6:28
  production.
• 6:28
  And
• 6:28
  I
• 6:29
  think
• 6:29
  it's
• 6:29
  really
• 6:29
  critical
• 6:30
  to
• 6:30
  recognize
• 6:31
  that
• 6:31
  it's
• 6:31
  not
• 6:31
  just
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  fruits
• 6:33
  and
• 6:33
  vegetables
• 6:34
  that
• 6:34
  we
• 6:34
  grow,
• 6:34
  but
• 6:34
  it's
• 6:35
  actually
• 6:36
  think
• 6:36
  about
• 6:36
  all
• 6:37
  of
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  feed
• 6:38
  that
• 6:39
  we
• 6:39
  grow
• 6:39
  for
• 6:39
  animals.
• 6:40
  That's
• 6:41
  a
• 6:41
  huge
• 6:41
  environmental
• 6:42
  footprint.
• 6:43
  And
• 6:43
  so
• 6:43
  when
• 6:43
  you
• 6:44
  waste
• 6:44
  protein
• 6:45
  or
• 6:45
  seafood,
• 6:47
  that
• 6:47
  has
• 6:47
  a
• 6:48
  magnified
• 6:48
  impact
• 6:49
  on
• 6:49
  the
• 6:49
  environment.
• 6:50
  But
• 6:50
  then
• 6:50
  the
• 6:51
  other
• 6:51
  part
• 6:51
  of
• 6:51
  it
• 6:51
  is
• 6:51
  we
• 6:51
  take
• 6:52
  all
• 6:53
  of
• 6:53
  this
• 6:53
  food
• 6:53
  that
• 6:53
  we
• 6:53
  grow
• 6:55
  and
• 6:56
  a
• 6:56
  huge
• 6:56
  amount
• 6:57
  of
• 6:57
  it
• 6:57
  we
• 6:57
  dump
• 6:57
  into
• 6:57
  holes
• 6:58
  in
• 6:58
  the
• 6:58
  ground
• 6:58
  in
• 6:58
  landfills.
• 7:00
  And
• 7:00
  so
• 7:00
  when
• 7:00
  we
• 7:01
  do
• 7:01
  that,
• 7:01
  when
• 7:01
  you
• 7:01
  have
• 7:02
  landfilling
• 7:02
  of
• 7:03
  organic
• 7:03
  material
• 7:04
  and
• 7:04
  food
• 7:04
  waste
• 7:04
  and
• 7:05
  you
• 7:05
  bury
• 7:05
  it,
• 7:05
  it
• 7:05
  creates
• 7:06
  methane
• 7:06
  emissions.
• 7:08
  It
• 7:08
  actually
• 7:08
  ranks
• 7:09
  third
• 7:10
  globally
• 7:11
  in
• 7:11
  terms
• 7:11
  of
• 7:12
  largest
• 7:12
  amount
• 7:12
  of
• 7:13
  methane
• 7:13
  emissions
• 7:14
  behind
• 7:15
  fossil
• 7:15
  fuels
• 7:16
  and
• 7:17
  cattle
• 7:17
  production.
• 7:18
  Production.
• 7:18
  Right.
• 7:19
  And
• 7:20
  so
• 7:20
  then
• 7:20
  you're
• 7:20
  thinking,
• 7:20
  oh
• 7:21
  my
• 7:21
  God,
• 7:21
  like,
• 7:21
  not
• 7:21
  only
• 7:22
  are
• 7:22
  we
• 7:22
  just
• 7:22
  wasting
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  resources
• 7:23
  to
• 7:24
  grow
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  Food
• 7:24
  that
• 7:24
  we
• 7:25
  don't
• 7:25
  eat,
• 7:25
  but
• 7:25
  we're
• 7:26
  also
• 7:26
  putting
• 7:26
  it
• 7:27
  in
• 7:27
  the
• 7:27
  ground,
• 7:27
  creating
• 7:28
  methane
• 7:28
  emissions
• 7:29
  and
• 7:29
  not
• 7:30
  composting
• 7:30
  it,
• 7:31
  not
• 7:31
  recycling,
• 7:31
  not
• 7:32
  turning
• 7:32
  those
• 7:32
  nutrients
• 7:33
  into
• 7:33
  something
• 7:33
  else
• 7:33
  to
• 7:34
  feed
• 7:34
  soils.
• 7:34
  I
• 7:34
  mean,
• 7:34
  it's
• 7:35
  just
• 7:35
  bonkers.
• 7:36
  The
• 7:36
  circularity
• 7:37
  component
• 7:37
  of
• 7:37
  this
• 7:38
  is
• 7:38
  really
• 7:38
  key
• 7:39
  and
• 7:40
  we've
• 7:40
  got
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  start
• 7:40
  changing
• 7:41
  how
• 7:41
  we
• 7:42
  deal
• 7:42
  with
• 7:42
  food
• 7:42
  and
• 7:43
  organic
• 7:43
  material.
• 7:44
  End
• 7:44
  of
• 7:44
  life.
• 7:44
  Yeah.
• 7:45
  I
• 7:45
  mean,
• 7:45
  I
• 7:46
  asked
• 7:46
  you
• 7:46
  that
• 7:46
  question
• 7:46
  to
• 7:47
  hear
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  worst
• 7:47
  case
• 7:48
  scenario
• 7:48
  in
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  hopes
• 7:49
  that
• 7:49
  we
• 7:49
  can
• 7:50
  get
• 7:50
  through
• 7:50
  some
• 7:51
  of
• 7:51
  your
• 7:51
  suggestions
• 7:52
  or
• 7:52
  end
• 7:53
  on
• 7:53
  a
• 7:53
  positive
• 7:53
  note
• 7:54
  here
• 7:54
  of
• 7:54
  what's
• 7:55
  possible.
• 7:56
  What
• 7:57
  needs
• 7:57
  to
• 7:57
  happen
• 7:57
  then
• 7:58
  for
• 7:59
  the
• 7:59
  audience
• 7:59
  listening,
• 8:00
  for
• 8:00
  the
• 8:00
  people
• 8:00
  here
• 8:01
  at
• 8:01
  Consumer
• 8:01
  Goods
• 8:02
  Forum
• 8:02
  to
• 8:02
  make
• 8:03
  that
• 8:04
  change?
• 8:04
  Yeah,
• 8:05
  well,
• 8:05
  I
• 8:05
  was
• 8:05
  really
• 8:06
  enlightened
• 8:07
  because
• 8:07
  literally,
• 8:08
  like
• 8:08
  right
• 8:08
  when
• 8:08
  I
• 8:08
  sat
• 8:09
  down
• 8:09
  at
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  morning
• 8:10
  plenary
• 8:10
  session,
• 8:12
  Max
• 8:13
  from
• 8:14
  one
• 8:14
  of
• 8:15
  the
• 8:15
  companies,
• 8:17
  McCain
• 8:18
  was
• 8:18
  talk,
• 8:18
  we,
• 8:19
  he
• 8:19
  was
• 8:19
  talking
• 8:19
  about
• 8:20
  the
• 8:20
  importance
• 8:20
  of
• 8:20
  measuring
• 8:21
  farm
• 8:21
  loss,
• 8:23
  having
• 8:23
  these
• 8:23
  alternative
• 8:24
  markets.
• 8:24
  So
• 8:25
  like
• 8:25
  the
• 8:25
  message
• 8:25
  is
• 8:26
  getting
• 8:26
  there.
• 8:26
  These
• 8:26
  companies
• 8:27
  are
• 8:27
  actually
• 8:28
  putting
• 8:28
  this
• 8:29
  into
• 8:29
  practice.
• 8:31
  I
• 8:31
  think
• 8:31
  the
• 8:31
  tricky
• 8:32
  part
• 8:32
  for
• 8:32
  us
• 8:33
  looking
• 8:33
  forward
• 8:33
  is
• 8:34
  we've
• 8:34
  got
• 8:34
  to
• 8:35
  make
• 8:35
  a
• 8:35
  massive
• 8:36
  investment
• 8:36
  globally
• 8:37
  on
• 8:37
  the
• 8:37
  infrastructure
• 8:38
  that
• 8:39
  it's
• 8:39
  going
• 8:39
  to
• 8:39
  take
• 8:39
  to
• 8:40
  turn
• 8:40
  this
• 8:40
  into
• 8:40
  a
• 8:40
  circular
• 8:41
  food
• 8:41
  economy
• 8:42
  where
• 8:42
  you
• 8:42
  have
• 8:42
  cities
• 8:43
  that
• 8:43
  are
• 8:43
  composting,
• 8:44
  cities
• 8:44
  that
• 8:44
  are
• 8:44
  taking
• 8:44
  and
• 8:45
  separating
• 8:45
  organic
• 8:46
  waste.
• 8:46
  You're
• 8:47
  talking
• 8:47
  about
• 8:47
  billions
• 8:48
  and
• 8:48
  billions
• 8:48
  of
• 8:48
  dollars,
• 8:49
  if
• 8:49
  not
• 8:50
  trillions
• 8:50
  of
• 8:50
  dollars
• 8:50
  to
• 8:51
  make
• 8:51
  this
• 8:51
  investment.
• 8:52
  We've
• 8:53
  got
• 8:53
  to
• 8:53
  figure
• 8:53
  out
• 8:53
  how
• 8:53
  that's
• 8:53
  financed
• 8:54
  and
• 8:54
  how
• 8:54
  you
• 8:54
  pay
• 8:54
  for
• 8:54
  that.
• 8:55
  Right,
• 8:55
  Right.
• 8:56
  It's
• 8:56
  easy
• 8:56
  in
• 8:57
  some
• 8:57
  places
• 8:57
  where
• 8:57
  you
• 8:58
  have
• 8:58
  the
• 8:58
  tax
• 8:58
  revenue
• 8:58
  and
• 8:59
  the
• 8:59
  dollars
• 8:59
  to
• 8:59
  do
• 8:59
  it.
• 8:59
  Right.
• 9:00
  But
• 9:00
  in
• 9:00
  developing
• 9:01
  countries,
• 9:02
  some
• 9:02
  of
• 9:02
  them
• 9:02
  don't
• 9:02
  even
• 9:02
  have
• 9:02
  basic
• 9:03
  waste
• 9:03
  management
• 9:04
  period.
• 9:04
  Right.
• 9:05
  Let
• 9:05
  alone
• 9:06
  being
• 9:06
  able
• 9:06
  to
• 9:06
  separate
• 9:06
  it
• 9:07
  and
• 9:07
  do,
• 9:07
  you
• 9:07
  know,
• 9:08
  advanced
• 9:08
  things
• 9:08
  with
• 9:08
  it.
• 9:09
  Right.
• 9:09
  So
• 9:09
  if
• 9:10
  we
• 9:10
  look
• 9:10
  at
• 9:10
  the
• 9:10
  US
• 9:10
  market,
• 9:11
  which
• 9:11
  you
• 9:11
  were
• 9:11
  talking
• 9:11
  about
• 9:12
  a
• 9:12
  little
• 9:12
  bit
• 9:12
  before,
• 9:12
  you
• 9:13
  know,
• 9:13
  and
• 9:13
  for
• 9:13
  our
• 9:13
  audience,
• 9:14
  which
• 9:14
  is
• 9:14
  primarily
• 9:14
  US
• 9:15
  based,
• 9:15
  and
• 9:15
  for
• 9:16
  all
• 9:16
  our
• 9:16
  audience
• 9:16
  back
• 9:16
  home
• 9:17
  who's
• 9:17
  watching
• 9:17
  this
• 9:17
  live,
• 9:18
  you
• 9:18
  know,
• 9:18
  as,
• 9:19
  as
• 9:19
  we
• 9:19
  record
• 9:20
  this
• 9:20
  from
• 9:20
  cg,
• 9:21
  what
• 9:22
  are
• 9:22
  some
• 9:22
  of
• 9:22
  the
• 9:22
  best
• 9:23
  practices
• 9:24
  that
• 9:24
  the
• 9:24
  grocers
• 9:25
  or
• 9:25
  the
• 9:25
  CPGs
• 9:26
  in
• 9:26
  the
• 9:26
  United
• 9:26
  States
• 9:27
  can,
• 9:27
  can
• 9:28
  start
• 9:28
  to
• 9:29
  do
• 9:29
  now?
• 9:30
  Yeah,
• 9:31
  I
• 9:32
  think
• 9:32
  the
• 9:32
  biggest
• 9:32
  thing
• 9:32
  is
• 9:33
  separate
• 9:34
  food
• 9:35
  from
• 9:35
  the
• 9:35
  trash
• 9:36
  from
• 9:36
  the
• 9:36
  waste
• 9:36
  stream
• 9:37
  and
• 9:37
  treat
• 9:38
  it
• 9:38
  as
• 9:38
  something
• 9:38
  different.
• 9:39
  Like
• 9:39
  you
• 9:39
  have
• 9:39
  to
• 9:40
  have
• 9:40
  that
• 9:40
  separation
• 9:42
  that
• 9:42
  food
• 9:42
  is
• 9:42
  never
• 9:43
  trash.
• 9:44
  And
• 9:44
  you
• 9:44
  have
• 9:45
  to
• 9:45
  start
• 9:45
  looking
• 9:45
  at
• 9:46
  measuring
• 9:46
  and
• 9:47
  understanding
• 9:47
  how
• 9:47
  much
• 9:47
  you
• 9:48
  generate
• 9:49
  because
• 9:49
  that
• 9:50
  creates
• 9:50
  that
• 9:50
  feedback
• 9:51
  loop
• 9:51
  to
• 9:52
  then
• 9:52
  start
• 9:52
  to
• 9:52
  work
• 9:53
  on
• 9:53
  prevention,
• 9:53
  but
• 9:54
  then
• 9:54
  to
• 9:54
  also
• 9:54
  work
• 9:55
  on
• 9:55
  getting
• 9:55
  it
• 9:55
  out
• 9:55
  of
• 9:56
  landfills.
• 9:56
  Okay.
• 9:57
  And
• 9:57
  I
• 9:58
  imagine
• 9:58
  like
• 9:58
  weigh
• 9:59
  it
• 9:59
  and
• 9:59
  monetize,
• 10:00
  like
• 10:00
  how
• 10:00
  much
• 10:01
  money
• 10:01
  is
• 10:01
  being
• 10:01
  lost
• 10:02
  Then
• 10:02
  in
• 10:02
  addition
• 10:03
  to
• 10:03
  that,
• 10:03
  is
• 10:03
  that
• 10:04
  the
• 10:04
  case?
• 10:04
  Absolutely.
• 10:05
  Yeah.
• 10:05
  I
• 10:05
  mean,
• 10:06
  especially
• 10:06
  for
• 10:06
  retail.
• 10:07
  Like,
• 10:08
  this
• 10:08
  is
• 10:08
  really
• 10:08
  just
• 10:09
  a
• 10:09
  good
• 10:09
  inventory
• 10:09
  management
• 10:10
  practice.
• 10:10
  You
• 10:11
  know,
• 10:11
  you
• 10:11
  want
• 10:11
  to
• 10:11
  see,
• 10:12
  why
• 10:13
  is
• 10:13
  this
• 10:13
  stuff
• 10:13
  going
• 10:13
  in
• 10:14
  the
• 10:14
  trash?
• 10:14
  How
• 10:14
  can
• 10:15
  we
• 10:15
  improve
• 10:15
  our
• 10:16
  ordering
• 10:16
  or
• 10:16
  improve
• 10:17
  our
• 10:17
  practices?
• 10:17
  And
• 10:18
  so.
• 10:19
  But
• 10:19
  there's
• 10:19
  only
• 10:19
  so
• 10:19
  much
• 10:20
  you
• 10:20
  can
• 10:20
  prevent.
• 10:21
  Eventually
• 10:22
  you're
• 10:22
  going
• 10:22
  to
• 10:22
  have
• 10:22
  food
• 10:22
  and
• 10:23
  organic
• 10:23
  material
• 10:23
  that
• 10:23
  has
• 10:24
  to
• 10:24
  go
• 10:24
  somewhere,
• 10:24
  so
• 10:25
  you
• 10:25
  got
• 10:25
  to
• 10:25
  get
• 10:25
  it
• 10:25
  out
• 10:25
  of
• 10:25
  the
• 10:26
  trash.
• 10:27
  A
• 10:27
  lot
• 10:27
  of
• 10:27
  states
• 10:27
  have
• 10:28
  done
• 10:28
  a
• 10:28
  really
• 10:29
  great
• 10:29
  job
• 10:29
  with
• 10:29
  this.
• 10:30
  You
• 10:30
  have
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  West
• 10:30
  Coast,
• 10:31
  Oregon,
• 10:31
  Washington,
• 10:32
  California.
• 10:32
  You
• 10:32
  know,
• 10:33
  they've
• 10:33
  been
• 10:33
  in
• 10:33
  this
• 10:34
  game
• 10:34
  for
• 10:34
  a
• 10:34
  long
• 10:34
  time
• 10:35
  with
• 10:35
  waste
• 10:35
  management
• 10:35
  and
• 10:36
  organic
• 10:36
  materials.
• 10:37
  But
• 10:37
  we
• 10:38
  need
• 10:38
  all
• 10:38
  50
• 10:39
  states
• 10:39
  to
• 10:39
  do
• 10:39
  this.
• 10:40
  And
• 10:40
  we've
• 10:41
  got
• 10:41
  to
• 10:41
  have
• 10:41
  the
• 10:41
  policy
• 10:42
  down
• 10:42
  to
• 10:42
  state
• 10:42
  and
• 10:43
  city
• 10:43
  level
• 10:43
  to
• 10:43
  make
• 10:43
  the
• 10:44
  investment
• 10:44
  and
• 10:44
  to
• 10:44
  see
• 10:44
  that
• 10:45
  it
• 10:45
  happens.
• 10:45
  Got
• 10:45
  it.
• 10:45
  So
• 10:45
  I
• 10:46
  want
• 10:46
  to
• 10:46
  make
• 10:46
  sure
• 10:46
  I
• 10:46
  understand
• 10:46
  that,
• 10:46
  too.
• 10:46
  So
• 10:47
  you
• 10:47
  say
• 10:47
  if
• 10:47
  I'm
• 10:47
  like,
• 10:47
  so
• 10:48
  back
• 10:48
  in
• 10:48
  my
• 10:48
  former
• 10:48
  life,
• 10:48
  I
• 10:49
  used
• 10:49
  to
• 10:49
  run
• 10:49
  Target
• 10:49
  Store.
• 10:49
  So
• 10:50
  if
• 10:50
  I'm
• 10:50
  running
• 10:50
  a
• 10:50
  Target
• 10:51
  store,
• 10:52
  I
• 10:52
  should
• 10:52
  take
• 10:52
  the
• 10:52
  mindset
• 10:53
  of
• 10:53
  no
• 10:53
  food
• 10:54
  ever
• 10:54
  goes
• 10:54
  in
• 10:54
  the
• 10:54
  garbage
• 10:55
  in
• 10:55
  that
• 10:55
  Target
• 10:55
  store.
• 10:56
  Is.
• 10:56
  Is
• 10:56
  that
• 10:56
  the.
• 10:57
  Is
• 10:57
  that
• 10:57
  what
• 10:57
  you're
• 10:58
  saying?
• 10:58
  Or
• 10:58
  explain
• 10:59
  that
• 10:59
  to
• 10:59
  me.
• 10:59
  That
• 11:00
  is
• 11:00
  what
• 11:00
  I'm
• 11:00
  saying.
• 11:00
  Like,
• 11:00
  that
• 11:01
  is
• 11:01
  what
• 11:01
  you're
• 11:01
  saying.
• 11:01
  It's
• 11:02
  like
• 11:02
  we
• 11:02
  need
• 11:02
  to
• 11:02
  get
• 11:02
  to
• 11:02
  a
• 11:02
  point
• 11:03
  where
• 11:03
  food
• 11:04
  and
• 11:04
  organic
• 11:04
  material
• 11:05
  is
• 11:05
  always
• 11:05
  separated
• 11:06
  and
• 11:06
  never
• 11:07
  part
• 11:07
  of
• 11:07
  trash.
• 11:07
  Okay.
• 11:08
  Now
• 11:08
  where
• 11:08
  it
• 11:08
  gets
• 11:09
  difficult
• 11:09
  is
• 11:09
  you
• 11:09
  might
• 11:10
  have
• 11:10
  a
• 11:10
  Target
• 11:10
  Store.
• 11:11
  Yeah.
• 11:11
  Where
• 11:11
  the
• 11:11
  city
• 11:12
  does
• 11:12
  not
• 11:12
  do
• 11:13
  composting
• 11:13
  or
• 11:13
  they
• 11:14
  don't
• 11:14
  do
• 11:14
  that
• 11:14
  diversion.
• 11:15
  And
• 11:15
  that's
• 11:16
  where
• 11:16
  we
• 11:16
  need
• 11:16
  companies
• 11:16
  to
• 11:17
  help
• 11:17
  us
• 11:17
  advocate
• 11:18
  for
• 11:18
  policy
• 11:18
  shifts.
• 11:20
  We've
• 11:20
  actually
• 11:20
  created
• 11:21
  a
• 11:21
  really
• 11:22
  effective
• 11:23
  group
• 11:23
  called
• 11:23
  the
• 11:23
  Zero
• 11:24
  Food
• 11:24
  Waste
• 11:24
  Coalition,
• 11:25
  which
• 11:26
  is
• 11:26
  working
• 11:26
  on
• 11:26
  this
• 11:27
  nationally
• 11:28
  at
• 11:28
  the
• 11:28
  federal
• 11:29
  level,
• 11:29
  but
• 11:30
  also
• 11:30
  now
• 11:30
  working
• 11:30
  down
• 11:31
  to
• 11:31
  state
• 11:31
  level
• 11:31
  to
• 11:32
  see
• 11:32
  these
• 11:32
  policies
• 11:32
  start
• 11:33
  to
• 11:33
  be
• 11:33
  modeled
• 11:33
  and
• 11:33
  state
• 11:34
  legislation
• 11:34
  to
• 11:35
  happen.
• 11:35
  And
• 11:35
  I
• 11:35
  would
• 11:36
  think
• 11:36
  to
• 11:36
  be
• 11:36
  like
• 11:36
  a
• 11:37
  company
• 11:37
  of
• 11:37
  the
• 11:37
  size
• 11:37
  of
• 11:37
  Target
• 11:38
  or
• 11:38
  like
• 11:38
  a
• 11:38
  Walmart
• 11:39
  or
• 11:39
  even
• 11:39
  a
• 11:39
  large
• 11:39
  grocery,
• 11:40
  they
• 11:40
  probably
• 11:40
  have
• 11:40
  the
• 11:40
  ability
• 11:41
  to
• 11:41
  still
• 11:41
  do
• 11:41
  this
• 11:42
  and
• 11:42
  then
• 11:42
  kind
• 11:42
  of
• 11:42
  push
• 11:43
  it
• 11:43
  forward
• 11:43
  at
• 11:43
  the
• 11:44
  city
• 11:44
  level
• 11:44
  or
• 11:44
  figure
• 11:45
  out,
• 11:45
  you
• 11:45
  know,
• 11:45
  what.
• 11:46
  What
• 11:46
  the
• 11:46
  correct
• 11:47
  disposition
• 11:47
  is
• 11:48
  of
• 11:48
  that.
• 11:48
  It's
• 11:48
  not
• 11:49
  waste
• 11:49
  anymore
• 11:49
  in
• 11:49
  a
• 11:50
  lot
• 11:50
  of
• 11:50
  ways,
• 11:50
  as
• 11:50
  you're
• 11:50
  describing
• 11:51
  it.
• 11:51
  But
• 11:52
  where
• 11:52
  to.
• 11:52
  To
• 11:52
  put
• 11:53
  it
• 11:53
  at
• 11:53
  the
• 11:53
  end
• 11:53
  of
• 11:53
  the
• 11:53
  day,
• 11:54
  is
• 11:54
  that
• 11:54
  right?
• 11:54
  I
• 11:54
  think
• 11:54
  those
• 11:55
  companies
• 11:55
  do
• 11:56
  okay.
• 11:57
  The
• 11:57
  grocery
• 11:57
  stores
• 11:58
  do.
• 11:58
  The
• 11:58
  hotels
• 11:59
  do
• 11:59
  the
• 11:59
  food
• 11:59
  service.
• 12:00
  We've
• 12:00
  been
• 12:00
  working
• 12:00
  a
• 12:00
  lot
• 12:01
  with
• 12:01
  schools.
• 12:02
  Okay.
• 12:02
  And
• 12:02
  I
• 12:03
  love
• 12:03
  this
• 12:03
  part
• 12:03
  of
• 12:03
  it,
• 12:04
  because
• 12:04
  when
• 12:04
  you
• 12:04
  get
• 12:05
  elementary
• 12:06
  school
• 12:06
  kids
• 12:06
  and
• 12:07
  youth
• 12:07
  involved.
• 12:08
  Yeah.
• 12:08
  State
• 12:09
  legislators
• 12:09
  listen.
• 12:10
  Yeah.
• 12:10
  You
• 12:10
  know,
• 12:11
  we
• 12:11
  did
• 12:11
  it.
• 12:11
  We
• 12:11
  did
• 12:11
  a
• 12:11
  campaign
• 12:11
  in
• 12:12
  Maryland
• 12:12
  where
• 12:12
  they
• 12:13
  sent
• 12:13
  a
• 12:13
  School,
• 12:14
  sent
• 12:14
  9,000
• 12:15
  postcards
• 12:15
  to
• 12:15
  the
• 12:15
  state
• 12:16
  legislature,
• 12:16
  and
• 12:17
  they
• 12:17
  got
• 12:17
  a
• 12:17
  bill
• 12:17
  passed
• 12:18
  on
• 12:18
  compost.
• 12:19
  I
• 12:19
  mean,
• 12:19
  it's
• 12:19
  amazing.
• 12:20
  Parents
• 12:20
