Food Waste Road shows
Our recycling team are going to be out and about over the summer talking to residents about food waste and the importance of recycling it.
Did you know .. when you recycle your food waste it gets turned into energy for our homes? By recycling your food waste it reduces the release of methane a potential greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Food waste that we collect, goes through a process called anaerobic digestion, this captures this methane and converts it into biogas, a renewable energy source, preventing its release into the atmosphere.
We all know how busy life can be, so choose one simple food hack to try today - whether that's planning more meals so you know what you need in your weekly shop, measuring your rice or pasta before cooking, popping leftovers in the fridge or freezer for another meal, or checking your fridge is set to a cool enough temperature.
It doesn't have to be anything complicated, like going fully 'zero waste' at the drop of a hat, making meals from fruit and veg peelings, or growing your own veg (although if you're into it, that's brilliant!) One small change really does make a huge difference if enough of us take that action.
Keep doing your chosen action every week until it becomes second nature and part of your weekly food routine. Then try something else. In a few weeks, you'll be surprised at how much food you're saving from the bin and how many more £s you have in your pocket.
