Our events on climatejustice.lu
As Foodsharing is part of the coalition #United4ClimateJustice, you find our events also in the climate action calendar on climatejustice.lu.
Place for public fridge wanted
If we find a place to set up a public fridge in Luxembourg City until the end of this year, Frères des Hommes Luxembourg will sponsor us a new fridge. Do you know a place that is well connected but privately owned? Let us know if you are 99% sure that it will work out.
Cooking stand at #United4ClimateJustice
On the occasion of the United for Climate Justice demonstration on the 27th of September 2019, we prepared snacks, wraps, soup and fruit salad with food that would have been thrown away for everybody. On the whole, we have distributed 300 portions.

Info stand at Last Summer Dance
We are grateful to the Last Summer Dance festival to have been present with an information stand last Sunday. Many people have showed interest by talking to us and by grabbing some gadgets or some left-overs from our Foodsharing Point; Some have even signed up as a member on-site. Furthermore, one of our members gave a live interview at Radio ARA.
Registered non-profit association
As of today, Foodsharing Luxembourg is registered as non-profit association with the number F12422. The statutes, the group agreement as well as the sign-up form will be put online in the next weeks.
World Disco Soup Day 2019
Some of our members have attended the disco soup in Echternach on the occasion of the World Disco Soup Day on the 27th of April 2019. This event was organized by Slow Food Youth Luxembourg and supported by the municipality of Echternach and by KlimaPakt. Local groups have been involved too.
Upon our arrival, we were greeted with a warm welcome, freshly prepared soup and smoothies. Having filled our bellies, we helped the other volunteers distributing the left-overs and clearing up the space.
Despite the showers of rain, we really enjoyed coming here and getting to know like-minded people. We also look forward to work together more with Slow Food Youth Luxembourg!
Photos of this event can be found on the Facebook page of Slow Food Youth Luxembourg.
Support the petition against food waste
We support the petition 1233 – Gemeinsam aktiv gegen Lebensmittelverschwendung – of Josette Heitz at the Chamber of Deputies. It has already reached 1000 signatures in a few days, so it is realistic to surpass the threshold of 4500 signatures before its closure the 30th April.
But de la pétition:
Ein Lebensmittel-Gesetz einführen, das grosse Supermärkte verplichtet, unverkaufte, aber noch geniessbare Waren nicht mehr wegzuwerfen, sondern an karitative Einrichtungen weiterzugeben. Wer sich nicht dran hält, sollen Geldstrafen drohen.
Motivation de l’intérêt général de la pétition:
Wenn man bedenkt welche Unmengen an Rohstoffen und Energie nötig sind um Lebensmittel herzustellen, müssen unbedingt Strategien und Gesetze entwickelt werden um ein unnötiges Wegwerfen in Zukunft zu vermeiden, oder wenigstens drastisch zu senken.
Einige Stunden vor Ladenschluss sollen in den Supermärkten leichtverderbliche Waren wie Gemüse, Obst, Backwaren sowie Lebensmittel vor dem Ablaufdatum zu einem stark reduziertem Preis angeboten werden.
Ein Lebensmittel-Gesetz einführen, das grosse Supermärkte verplichtet, unverkaufte, aber noch geniessbare Waren nicht mehr wegzuwerfen, sondern an karitative Einrichtungen weiterzugeben. Wer sich nicht dran hält, sollen Geldstrafen drohen.WIR KöNNEN DIE QUALITäT UND VIELFALT DER LEBENSMITTEL ERHöHEN, DIE WIR ERHALTEN UND WEITERGEBEN.
