When we waste food we are also wasting the resources that go into creating (land use,water,labour,energy etc) when food waste goes to landfill it produces greenhouse
gasses such as methane which are harmful for environment do you think that knowing about the negative impact that food waste has on the environment would encourage people to save food from the bin? 

We are killing the planet by wasting a lot of food, And if we waste food we put gases onto the earth that causes global warming.

Food production is a major driver of wildlife extinction. What we eat contributes around a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions and is responsible for almost 60% of global biodiversity loss.

Farming animals for meat and dairy requires space and huge inputs of water and feed. Today, one of the biggest causes of forest loss is the expansion of agricultural land for animal feed production, such as soy. And producing meat creates vastly more carbon dioxide than plants such as vegetables, grains and legumes. Moving away from a meat-dominated diet towards a more plant-based diet can lower your impact on the environment. Vegetarian and vegan foods are massively on the rise and becoming far more common in restaurants, cafes and supermarkets, so you’ll rarely struggle. Not only that, but cutting down on meat and dairy products can reduce your weekly food bills.and by going to the northern sole its bad 

 

Here is a quiz https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/reduce-food-waste-and-help-environment/

Keeping track of what you’ve got in already means you’re less likely to buy food you don’t need.Keep an eye on use by and best before labels
Remember ‘best before’ is about quality, you can safely use food after this date if it looks and smells okay but ‘use by’ means just that – don’t use the food after this date.Plan your meals. Recipe planning means you buy more efficiently, as you’ve already worked out what you need.

Technology is a huge part of our lives everybody uses in whether its the TV or your mobile phone it’s gotten to a point where we rely on it.

What if we could use it for good?

We could create an app where people can note down what foods they waste in a day and which ones they eat the government [although this app can be viewed by the government they would only be able to legally publish your gender and age as those are the only 2 requirements for the app] can then set up a specialised team to learn how we could stop wasting certain foods based on their ages then once the government has collected enough information they could publish it NO NAMES would be on this just the age ranges like 13-15, 16-18, 19-21 so on people could note down who to advertise certain foods and people could realise what foods they need to try or buy less off in based on their waste like is they ate 5 pieces of broccoli and wasted 4 they could buy in smaller quantities of the foods.

Suppliers

Suppliers could use this information to know what they have to produce more off and what to cut down by a couple of dozens.

Food Shops

Shops could start pricing foods at different prices based on these charts they could change packaging or make prices lower on foods that are getting wasted more often.

Parts Of The App

It would be no sign up you would just have to enter your age

It would be eye-catching to younger generations and would be broadcasted on the radio and many news and cooking channels.

The government would take it in and close the app for

one month a year maybe August as there are no big holidays that month.

They tally it up and then publish it to the public.

They would then reopen the app and people would carry on.

How?

If we got this app made it would take a year or two to get it working and important to people so they would look and find this useful.

WHY?

Why are we needing this?

The amount of food thrown out a year in SCOTLAND ALONE is enough to fill Murray field Stadium four times over more than HALF of this food could have been consumed.

We waste 2 million slices of bread a day.

£90 million worth of bakery products.

£190 Million of Fresh meat and fish products

This is all a year worth.

As well as £79 million of fresh fruit the fresh fruit wasted is enough to give every learner and teacher in Scotland an apple a day for a year.

A family of 4 could save £700 a year 

Could You Help This Happen...

Every year we waste 9.5 Billion tonnes of food. Even though 8.4 million people are in food poverty. 70% of our waste comes from households, 16% comes from manufacturers, 12% comes from food services, 2% comes from shops.

At the start of february people started taking a survey and 79% of people took up new food management methods. 41% of people who took the survey are now pre ordering food more than ever before. 35% of people are checking the eat by date and 30% of people used up more leftovers.

In the UK we reduce food waste by diverting it to animal feed. 84.6% or 660,000 tonnes of animal feed was made out of our food waste.

Pope Francais does a lot with the WFP(the world food programme) to try and stop food wastage. One third of the world's food gets put to waste and families still go hungry. People like pope francis are making a change and encouraging you to stop wasting food, if you don’t waste food you help save the planet. 

Facts 

Celebrities could be organising waste pick up and they could encourage people to eat up all their dinner because they are famous so a lot of young people would listen to them to be like them and to do what they want.  

In conclusion we have told you how you can help stop food waste and how you can encourage people to help stop food wasting. There are also multiple facts about food wastage.

Another example of celebrities supporting anti food waste is Leonardo DiCaprio. He made a speech at the opening of the climate summit in 2014 about food waste and how we need to stop wasting food.

Jamie Oliver has put a lot of information on his website about food waste and he has made a road map on how we can stop food waste and make the world a better place.

We are writing about how supermarkets and shoppers can help reduce food waste.

Supermarkets can use in-store communications, tv/radio advertising and websites to communicate with their shoppers about the food they buy. 

Food that is not sellable is thrown out. Supermarkets can give food that is not able to sell to the community, they can give unsold produce to food banks and hunger-relief charities. 

 

Today we are going to be looking at what Gordon Ramsey has done to avoid food waste. 

Here is a video about him talking and doing something about food waste, here is the link - ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cPOZ_BFKSg

Summary about the video - This video was about Gorden Ramsey’s Hell Kitchen and him showing his contestants what happens when you waste food. He did this by making them go out into the ‘dumpster’ outside of the studio to collect all of the food they wasted that night. Gordon had also explained how it would impact a restaurant if they had wasted that much food every night.   

This would show that Gorden Ramsey cares about food waste and that he won’t tolerate it unless it’s necessary. 

Thank you for reading/watching, see you later my little oompa loompas ❤️

In Scotland food waste costs us 1.1 billion each year. We could save £460 a year per household and £700 a year by not wasting food. 

What you could buy with £460 per year instead of wasting it:

You could buy a bloody xbox series x with that and have 11 pounds to spare.

You could buy a ps5 with the money and have 10 pounds to spare. 

What you could buy with £700 instead of food waste. 

You could buy a PHILIPS 65PUS7556/12 65" 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV with £700 instead of food waste

You could buy a LG TurboWash with AI DD V7 F4V710WTSE WiFi-enabled 10.5 kg 1400 Spin Washing Machine - White with £700 instead of food waste. 

You could buy aDELONGHI Autentica Cappuccino ETAM29.660.SB Bean To Cup Coffee Machine - Silver with £700 instead of food waste.

WE WOULD MAKE IT BLOODY ILLEGAL IF YOU DO WASTE FOOD THEN SPEND UP TO 2 DAYS IN JAIL DEPENDING ON HOW BAD IT IS.

Did you know that in Scotland we throw away up to 600,000 tonnes of food per year? This would be enough to fill Murrayfield Stadium 4 times over! Sounds hard to believe right? Well, I bet you didn’t know that half of that food waste could have been actually eaten. Every year, we waste £190 million pounds worth of fresh meat and fish, £90 million worth of bakery products and £75 million on fresh fruit, all which could have been consumed. The average household could actually save £460 per year or a family of four could save £760 just if they did not throw out avoidable food waste. Just think of what you could buy with the extra money. For example, you could buy a new Phone with the £460 pounds or even get a short family break away with the £760. I’m sure that once people start to realize this, then less food will be wasted. Apart from saving money, wasting less food will also be better for the planet. When we waste food, we also waste all the natural resources and energy that go into producing it. In landfill, wasted food lets of gases that are very harmful to the environment. If we did not throw out avoidable food waste in Scotland, it would actually have the same good environmental impact as taking 1-4 cars off the road. The Scottish government has pledged to reduce food waste by 33% by 2025, but we all need to make this change possible by throwing out only unavoidable food waste.

Supermarkets make people buy more food. They do this by doing lots of different things - 

Even though these are good ideas for supermarkets to make more money, they are not so good for the Earth. People are buying more so more food is getting wasted. 

How could supermarkets reduce food waste? Here are some ideas:

Supermarkets could be putting out some free recipe books so that people have more ways they can use their food. Supermarkets may even be making more money by doing this as people will probably be buying extra things to get everything for the recipes. They could even advertise these recipe books by: radio, TV, billboards, etc.

The supermarkets could be taking leftovers or foods with expiry dates that are about to go off to the food banks so no food is wasted and people will pick the food up to eat for them and their families. 

Supermarkets could put all items that are going out of date to the end of the aisle and call it a bargain aisle since most shops just have the reduced stuff mixed in with all the other things.  No one can help themselves when walking past reduced items so if they are in sight where everyone will walk past then they are most certainly going to sell out and less of the food will be going to the bin as 30% of people are more likely to buy items from the end than the middle of the aisle.  

If supermarkets started to do more to reduce food waste it could really make a difference to the Earth. Hopefully everyone takes these things into consideration!

She is very health conscious

She is very healthy considering she eats good important food, her children inspired her to be more healthier and her actress job.

If there is more wastage of food it could cause more damage to Earth (global warming.) SO DON’T WASTE FOOD.

If I was a celebrity I would put out more options for food preserving. So there would be less wastage and global warming would be reduced. 

A large amount of methane is released into the atmosphere, these gases are hugely more harmful than carbon dioxide in terms of trapping heat in the atmosphere.

Soil contamination is more likely to occur due to the wastage in landfills. 

Reducing the methane reduces the carbon footprint. Meaning Earth would be healthier.

To improve the wastage.

These are all of the things that would help reduce food wastage, eat what you handle and eat whatever you’re having and eat all of it. 

(Toxic waste can harm people, animals, and infect the soil. Wherever it goes, even the air stream. Landfills are bad for our health and environment, landfills with the toxic chemicals from our waste. Could end up in our water supply. In addition landfills give off potentially harmful gases and odors that can permeate neighbourhoods, linked to birth defects and other serious health problems.) 

So this is why it's important to decrease food wastage and help global warming.

We need more celebrities to help encourage this interaction.  

If we didn't waste food we would have an extra £1.1 billion in Scotland, that is £460 per household per year and £700 for a family of four. Money like this is important for families with low wages so that they have no unnecessary food waste.  

Here are some ideas to help save food.  

Meal planning: 

There are lots of Youtube videos and Tv shows that show how they plan for inspiration on your meals, but make sure when you plan everyone in your household likes the dish you are making so there is no food wastage.  

Look at the use by date:

When buying food try and get food with the furthest possible use by date.

Make a list:

Before food shopping, check your shelves and cupboards for what you DON’T HAVE and make a list of what you are having for meals that week and only buy the food that you need and will eat. 

Freeze or refrigerate leftovers

Freeze or refrigerate leftover soup,macaroni,curry and many other foods.

In conclusion we will save money by not wasting food.
