Stop wasting food! Activity update The activity to reduce food waste has just entered its third week, and we're already seeing some great results. We'd like every student and teacher to join in the activity at school and at home, so if you haven't started yet, read on and join in! |
Stop wasting food at school According to school lunch director Marge Kaplan, "The children are making a big effort to think in a sensible way about the food they put on their plates. We now have about 15% less waste and we think this percentage will grow as more children join in the activity." The school canteen now offers two sizes for all main meals: small and large. This week they'll replace single bread rolls with slices of bread. You can take as many slices as you want, but one at a time to save waste. |
Stop wasting food at home Every year, we waste about a third of our food. A lot of this waste is cereals, fruit and vegetables. In the UK, more than 97% of waste ends up in a landfill site. That's a lot! Come to a special meeting with supermarket owner Carlos Rodriguez to learn how we can save food and money at home! |
