If your household is like ours you find that you waste way too much food. I buy mostly organic fruits and vegetables which do not have pesticides sprayed on them so they last even less time in the refrigerator. Food waste has become a worldwide epidemic, one that impacts each and every one of us. If we cut food waste by just 15 percent worldwide we could feed approximately 25 million more people each year! Did you know discarded food is also the country’s largest contributor to methane emissions? When you don’t use the food you’ve bought, it causes you to drive to the store and buy more to replace it. Wasted food, discarded packaging, the gas used to drive back and forth to the grocery store – all of these things affect our environment.
BerryBreeze is a solution based on science and nature and packaged in a little box and is an uncomplicated solution to refrigerated food waste. Activated oxygen (O3) protects the upper atmosphere from radiation and purifies and sanitizes the air in our lower atmosphere. In a refrigerator or storage space, activated oxygen neutralizes bacteria, mold and other microbes by inhibiting ethylene gas that triggers decay. This keeps food in a “living” stage – on average, two to three times longer than normal – and staying fresh and odor-free.
Berry Breeze could not be simpler to use, just install the batteries and place it in your refrigerator, no filters or absorption packs to worry about. You can purchase your Berry Breeze online here (Use code “holidayfresh” and receive $10 off!) or find a local retailer here. I know how much my readers want to try one of these so I have teamed up with Berry Breeze to offer one to be given away to one of my lucky readers. Just enter using the Giveaway Tools widget below and be sure to show Berry Breeze some love on facebook, twitter, Pinterest, Instagram & YouTube. Good luck!
