This Earth Day, we're excited to tell you about one of our passion projects:
sustainable eating! Uniworld and our sister brands have set lofty goals for
greener tourism practices—Net Zero carbon emissions by 2025—and we're
confident we will smash that goal. One of the biggest ways we are doing this
is by focusing on food waste reduction. Since piloting the Leanpath reduction
system in a few of our kitchens, we've eliminated over 50 tons of food waste,
equating to an incredible 36% reduction. In other numbers, that's 93,305
meals, 354 metric tons of CO2, or 1,247,516 bathtubs of water! And
now that we’ve launched the program on every ship we own, those
numbers are about to skyrocket. |
