Sometimes, it can feel like the world’s problems are too big for us to solve on our own. But when we team up to make sustainability simple, we can have a huge impact. That’s what Too Good To Go is all about.
So far, the global Too Good To Go community has rescued over 200 million Surprise Bags from being wasted. In terms of CO2e, that can be compared to taking 86,000 cars off the road for an entire year!
Your personal impact can add up quickly, too; if you saved one Surprise Bag a week for a year, you’d offset the CO2 equivalent of 130kg - the same amount as would be produced by charging 16,579 smartphones.
Caring for the earth doesn’t have to be difficult. It can be as simple (and fun!) as saving a single meal at a time.
