西班牙加爾達考 (Galdakao) 的人行道上佇立著一台冰箱,這台冰箱被柵欄包圍,不過一樣可以接近。人們可以在這台冰箱中取得食物,這些食物來自吃不完食物或想分享食物的居民和店家。

這個冰箱不僅能解決需要的人的飢餓問題,也能避免食物被浪費,他們將此神聖冰箱稱為「團結冰箱」(Solidarity Fridge) 。

阿羅瓦 (Alvaro Saiz) 曾運作過當地的食物銀行,在聽到德國如何利用食物分享網站和冰箱之後,想出了這個點子。

「團結冰箱的想法是從經濟危機出現時開始的,人們在垃圾堆中尋找食物的模樣非常不好看,這讓我開始思考我們到底浪費了多少食物。」

當他向市長伊蹦 (Ibon Uribe) 提出這個想法時,市長認為這計畫真是「瘋狂又聰明」,於是決定提供 5000歐元 (約為5,580美金,台幣 18 萬) 當作購買、維護冰箱與電費的資金,並在 4 月正式「開張」。

個人和餐廳能捐贈任何食物,除了生肉或雞蛋。這些食物需貼上放入日期的標籤,並規定食物不能在冰箱裡放超過 4 天。
雖然這個計畫餵飽了許多飢餓的人,但阿羅瓦的原意是想優先傳遞不要浪費食物的觀念。

他說:「這不是慈善機構,這是為了善用食物,不然它們最後都會進到垃圾桶裡。誰拿走食物並不重要,西班牙男歌手胡利奧 (Julio Iglesias) 也能停在團結冰箱面前,並從中拿走食物。說到底,這是要恢復食品的價值,並對抗浪費。」
在美國有 40% 的食物被丟掉,全世界約有 1/3 的完好或吃不完的食物被浪費。

世界各地的人們,也正在要求他們的國家接受類似的點子。
