Local Green Councillors are playing a major part in the Council's carbon reduction plan "Destination Zero". Around 37% of our household bin collections is food waste. This waste releases methane, when rotting in landfill, which is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide for global warming.
As food price inflation shows no sign of slowing, reducing the amount of food each house wastes makes sense - both to save money and to achieve the Destination Zero targets. The website https://www.lovefoodhatewaste.com/ has many practical ideas on how to cut food waste
