Quotes from Aleksandra Reinert:

“A third of all food projects globally goes to waste and over 50 percent of that food waste is actually happening in the home in the developed countries.”

“Yes, we are part of the problem - a big part of the problem - but we are also part of the solution.”

“What can I do to grow OLIO in my neighborhood? You need a community to start sharing on OLIO.”

“People know it’s an amazing feeling. We get so many users, as far as people just being so happy with the act of sharing something with your neighbor. It’s intrinsically good.”
