A community fridge in Gortin, County Tyrone, has prevented 24,000 meals from going to landfills since its 2023 launch. It receives perishable food donations from local supermarkets, managed by the Community Fridge Network and Hubbub, a UK charity promoting sustainability. This initiative, part of a broader effort in Northern Ireland, aims to combat food waste, which averages 86 kg per person annually, costing the region £442 million.
