Did you know your food could actually be the biggest source of carbon in your daily life?

This Wellingborough Climate Action Project workshop is on Food and Waste. Jonathan lead this workshop by focusing on how cut the ‘food’ carbon and how to save waste in six sections:

1.Sustainable Food
2. Food Not Wasted
3. Packaging
4. Litter
5. Rubbish
6. Reduce, Reuse, Repair and Recycle

How can my food choices make a difference to my environmental impact?

The ‘Sustainable Food’ section looks at what impact the production, processing, transportation, cooking, and waste of food. We look at how to cut your ‘food’ carbon footprint be that by growing and preparing your own or moving to meat free or lower meat diets.

Mary from Redeem Funds lead the ‘Food Not Wasted’ section during the workshop, we looked at how much food is wasted, by who and what is being done to save and share food.

Kerry from Food For Thought lead the ‘Packaging’ part, focussing primarily on single use packaging, its damaging consequences and how we can use less packaging.
