Love Food! Hate Waste New Zealand

Reduce Waste and Save Money

Why Food Waste Matters?

One-third of food produced globally is wasted; that is 1.3 billion tonnes of food that is never eaten.

We might not realise how much of a problem food waste is because we are blind to its effects.

When we throw our food into the bin, we don’t see the harmful greenhouse gases it is going to release in the landfill.

We also don’t see the fuel and resources that went into producing the food or see the people around the world who are hungry. All we see is an apple in the bin.

Reduce Your Waste

If we think of our food in terms of how much it costs us to buy it, we may not be so quick to throw it out.

No one likes to waste money. We shop around for the best deals, wait until Briscoes is having a sale and go crazy for two-for-one bargains.

So isn’t it surprising that we aren’t more careful with our food? After all, every time we throw away uneaten food, we are wasting the money we spent on it.

If we think of our food in terms of how much it costs us to buy it, we may not be so quick to throw it out.
