The 7th - 11th March is Food Waste Action Week! We are raising awareness and showing you how to minimise your food waste, and save money!
Food waste is a huge yet avoidable contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, which is extremley harmful to the planet AND costs a fortune 💰
🌍One third of all food that is produced is wasted worldwide, let's help stop that🌍
So, what can you do to help? 💚
- Store your food correctly
- Only buy what you need - meal plan, write a shopping list
- Freeze what you don't eat
- Utilise leftovers to make some new exciting meals
- Make the most of your cupboard space
- Check your fridge temperature - it should be at least 5 degrees celcius
- Use the Students' Association's community fridges
- Get involved with our Go Green Food Waste stall happening all this week!
