consumer-facing businesses such as restaurants.Armed with this information,the Mayor's Office of
Resilience,creates a restaurant challenge encouraging restaurants to work on the entire system of reduction,
rescue,and recycling.After 90 days and participation from 6 restaurants at Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson
airport,the program rescue 21,000 meals and saved owners over $62000.
