India-born
US-based
actress
Freida
Pinto
says
wastage
of
food
is
not
at
all
glamorous,
adding
that
instead
of
dumping
leftovers
one
should
give
it
to
someone.
Taking
forward
this
thought,
Freida
joined
hands
with
a
San
Francisco-based
food
recovery
technology
company
called
Copia
to
ensure
that
no
food
was
wasted
at
this
years'
Oscars
party.
Copia
is
known
for
providing
restaurants
or
party
organisers
with
pick
up
and
delivery
facilities,
and
also
help
them
package
and
distribute
leftover
food.
Freida,
also
known
for
her
active
participation
in
social
initiatives
like
Girl
Rising,
is
happy
to
do
her
bit
for
the
society.
"When
Awards
Week
gives
back
-
food
that
would
have
otherwise
been
wasted
has
now
been
shared
and
connected
with
the
LA
LGBT
Center,
just
3.3
miles
away
from
the
event
in
Los
Angeles.
Wastage
isn't
glamorous,
feeding
people
is!
Zero
Waste
Zero
Hunger,
Eat
like
a
star," Freida
posted
on
Instagram
last
week.
The
Slumdog
Millionaire
actor
also
added,
"The
stories
that
feed
our
culture
has
now
fed
over
800
people.
Sharing
excess
food
to
feed
our
community
is
a
no-brainer.
Thank
you
Film
independent
Spirit
Awards
Go
Copia
LA
mission
for
making
this
happen!"
She
also
took
the
initiative
to
Oscars,
which
was
held
here
on
February
26.
Freida
posted,
"So
excited
to
be
kicking
off
Oscar
weekend
with
this
fantastic
initiative.
This
year
Copia
and
I
team
up
with
some
of
Oscar
weekends
biggest
parties
to
recover
excess
food
and
deliver
it
to
communities
most
in
need
in
Los
Angeles.
Because
this
food
is
too
good
to
be
wasted."
