Shoppers in Harringay are to be reminded of ways to avoid food waste during the summer.
Leftovers contribute to £12 billion worth of food that is thrown out every year in UK homes. Householders are throwing out on average £480/year. This increases to £680/year for families with children.
To teach us all how to do better, the Council are hosting a
Love Food, Hate Waste roadshow on Tuesday 13 July, 10am - 2pm at Sainsbury's, Harringay.
Food waste experts will be on hand to offer advice on portion control, sell-by dates and storage and to give shoppers some tips and rescue recipes on making the most of their leftover food, whilst also saving money.
The
Love Food, Hate Waste campaign is run by
WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme), a government funded not-for-profit company.
And with a clear nod to Harringay circuses of years gone by, shoppers will also have the opportunity to spin the
Wheel of Food or play the
Perfect Portions game and test their knowledge of food waste.
