Sick of Food Waste Day is observed in the United States on February 9, following the Super Bowl, a day notorious for a high number of people calling in sick to work. This day aims to raise awareness about the issues surrounding food waste, which significantly impacts the environment, economy, and society by contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and worsening food insecurity. Participants are encouraged to evaluate the contents of their kitchens and find creative ways to use leftovers, promoting sustainable practices to reduce waste and conserve resources. The day serves as a reminder to take action against food waste, whether individuals are recovering from celebrations or enjoying their team's victory.
