Wasted food in landfills doesn’t just take up space, it creates harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Small changes at home can make a big difference. Cut food waste = cut emissions. 🌱

Start by planning your meals for the week, storing food properly so it lasts longer, and getting creative with leftovers.

Reducing food waste saves money, makes the most of the food you buy, and helps keep our communities cleaner. Get the whole household involved and share your favourite leftover meal ideas in the comments!♻️🍽️
