Food waste is a real problem.
I was listening to the launch podcast this week, and in it Katherine reminded me that lowering food waste is key to lowering our carbon footprint.
Food has its own carbon footprint created during its production, packaging and transportation. If we waste this food we are causing an even greater problem.
Food waste is something I'm constantly concerned about, I have two young children who do waste food, we are getting better at eating this as leftover lunches and adjusting our cooking portions.
Meal planning and purchasing just what we need, has also made a big difference in our household.
If we all lower our consumption and purchasing, making sure that we don't waste what we have, then this will have a huge impact on on the planet.
Of course using .app and .uk can help too!
