Environmental Impact Producing, storing and transporting food to us uses up a lot of energy and resources

The equivalent of 17 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year

If we were to stop wasting food it would be the equivalent of taking1 in 5 cars off UK roads

Page 12: Love Food Hate Waste…

Environmental ImpactSending food to landfill generates methane which is one of the most harmful greenhouse gases

Page 13: Love Food Hate Waste…

UK householders are throwing away £12

billion worth of good food and drink every

year.

£480 per household per year

£680 per household with children

per year

Savings of up to £50 a month

Financial impact

Page 28: Love Food Hate Waste…

Key Behaviour 3

Savvy storage

Page 29: Love Food Hate Waste…

Using the Freezer Food can theoretically be

stored in the freezer forever - it only deteriorates in quality, not safety

Changes in quality include colour, texture and flavour

Thaw food in fridge so that it doesn't get too warm. Eat within 24 hours after it’s been defrosted

Page 30: Love Food Hate Waste…

Key Behaviour 4

Perfect portions

Page 31: Love Food Hate Waste…

Weigh or measure your food – work out the right amount for you.

Encourage people to serve themselves from dishes on the table

You don’t need any fancy tools – a mug, tablespoon, spaghetti measure or simple scales are all you need

Perfect Portions
