Village of Champlain Food Waste Reduction Resident Survey |
The United States wastes more food than any other country in the world. The average family of four wastes about $1,600 a year on food that goes uneaten. The Clinton County Health Department is partnering with the Village of Champlain to reduce the amount of food in our community that is wasted. Your feedback in this survey is valuable and will help us reduce food waste in the Village of Champlain.
