Love Food Hate Waste

We throw away 6.7 million tonnes of food every year. Of course, some is peelings, cores and bones, but most of it is, or once was, perfectly good food.

Little by little, all this waste really adds up. Over a month. the average family throws away £50 of food shopping. That's a lot of food.

Wasted food has a big impact on climate change. Most of it ends up in landfill sites where it rots and releases methane, a damaging greenhouse gas. The food we throw away is also a huge waste of the energy, water and packaging used in its production, transportation and storage.

The good news is that you will find quick and easy ways to make the most of your food on the lovefoodhatewaste website. Please visit www.lovefoodhatewaste.com for tips and tricks.
