Reducing food waste and enabling community cooperatives is what is at the heart of Free Lemons.

We are fortunate enough to live in a country where there is an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, but each year we waste around 7.3 million tonnes of food – this wastage equals about 300kg per person or one in five bags of groceries. Free Lemons is an avenue to help reduce this wastage by connecting those with excess groceries to those who can use them. It’s not just about ensuring the food is used- food waste in Australia accounts for more than five per cent of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. In our climate emergency crisis it is up to each of us to take every step possible to reduce our greenhouse gas contribution.
That’s why signing up for a Free Lemons account makes so much sense- you have the power to reduce waste and help save the planet in the palm of your hand!
