Food Waste

Food waste. It's a tricky one. Like, when you're sitting you're sitting there, staring at a particularly unpleasant bowl of mushy peas, thinking: 'Do I eat it? Or do I waste it?'

Well, I've found a simple solution to the £800 of food waste an average family of 4 produces a year: community fridges.

Community fridges are, well, fridges where anyone can donate food and anyone who needs it can help themselves. So, next time you have some salad leaves- for example -that are going to go to waste, head down to your local community fridge!

But how do you find your fridge? Well, if you click here, you will go to a website on community fridges. Scroll down past some information and a useful video and you will come to a map. Scroll in to find your local community fridge.

As well as fridges, there are also larders. These are basically cupboards; so you have to bring food that will last. The rules for our local larder are just 'no meat, no fish, no dairy'..

Also, you don't just need to donate food that would have gone to waste: you can go any time (well, probably not at midnight). Just remember - this is going to a great cause!

See you next time!
