Consumers Lebanon (CL), Lebanon
Waste Less, Save More.”

The Vision
As many households discard surplus meals and untouched feasts, just a few miles away, hungry children dream of the very sustenance being tossed aside. The uneaten dinners, overstocked pantries, and decadent buffets all symbolise a stark divide, where one’s excess can be another’s salvation. This vision is for greater compassion and responsible sharing to bridge the gap between abundance and scarcity, ensuring no child goes to bed with an empty stomach when there’s so much food that could, and should, be shared. Preventing this waste will also save resources. In this vision meals are planned wisely, food is stored properly, and with excess shared with those in need through donations or community support.

2023 Campaign
CL worked on the challenge of food waste in its campaign by promoting the sustainable solution offered by circular economy thinking. Together with a local community, it developed a vision of sustainable consumption for 2030 and a roadmap for getting there. Part of this was a focus on eliminating food waste and building a circular economy and CL shared videos related to this topic between communities.
