Happy #EarthDay from Love Food Hate Waste! 💚🌍
This years theme is “Our Power, Our Planet” ➡️ how small choices come together to create big impact to combat climate change.
But did you know about the secret power of food waste? Food waste accounts for 10% of global GHG emissions (5x that of aviation) - if that was a country, it would be the 3rd highest emitter of CO2 globally!
Thing is - the majority of food is actually wasted in the home 😥 but that means we have the power to make a real impact...
Taking simple steps like planning your meals, checking your fridge/cupboards before the weekly shop and even just making sure your fridge is kept below 5 degrees can go a long way in keeping food (and money!) out of our bins
And for those scraps that can’t be eaten? The food caddy is our hero creating renewable energy and biofertilizer to use on British farms - closing the loop and helping us grow more food!

🐰 We're on a mission to help you #loveyourleftovers this Easter! Here are just a few ways you can help your feast with friends, family and the easter bunny to keep on giving this bank holiday weekend.

Happy Easter Love Food Hate Waste club! Hope you're all stuffing your faces with chocolate and spending some much deserved R&R with friends and family 🌷
After you've finished munching those delicious eggs, make sure to recycle the packaging. Did you know that tin foil is hard to recycle if smaller than a tennis ball in size? Forage for as much foil as you can and drop it into your recycling bin as one big monster ball - we're hearing it it as an excuse to eat more eggs. 🤔🥚
Stay tuned for some #loveyourleftovers inspo on Monday, but for now head over to @recyclenow_uk for more guidance on all things foil, cardboard and plastic!
Are you having people over for Easter this weekend? 🐰 About to go do the "BIG shop"? Swipe to read our quick guide on how to save money and avoid food waste (and avoid the Good Friday supermarket stress)!

📢 PSA: FREEZE THOSE BUNS HUN
Tis the season for hot cross everything - but if you give your buns a quick slice down the middle, put them back in the bag and straight into the freezer they'll stay fresh for muchhhh longer. You can then pop them into the toaster as they are, and slather them with as much butter as you like.
No stale buns on our watch 🫡
