'We throw out the equivalent of 2 million turkeys, 5m Christmas puddings and a truly shocking 74m mince pies, according to the Love Food Hate Waste campaign run by the government's waste reduction advisory body, Wrap. To put it into context, that means we are binning nearly twice as many mince pies as retail giant Marks & Spencer sells every year (40m).'
The campaign Love Food Hate Waste (read more about them from my previous post) wants to help us make the most of our Christmas meals and save money. Have a look at their pointers here: http://england.lovefoodhatewaste.com. They have instructions from Christmas Day to New Years Eve to make sure all our leftovers have a delicious recipe to go into.

But most importantly, Merry Christmas to you all!

I am also planning to do a post on this. I am sure it isn't just the food that is wasted - all that wrapping paper, packaging and toys that get played with a few times before being discarded!
ReplyDeleteHey Nathen! Sounds good, a post on general waste around Christmas? Yes I can imagine how much gets wasted, looking forward to reading about it!
