Cut food waste, save money and help the environment
Scotland throws away 630,000 tonnes of food and drink from our homes every year and most of this could have been eaten. Reducing this waste would save £470 a year for the average household – almost £40 every month.
That’s why a new campaign from the Scottish Government is encouraging people across Scotland to cut their food waste and recycle what we can’t use. Let’s create a greener, cleaner Scotland now and for the future. For tips and advice, visit www.greenerscotland.org/food-waste.
