Throw one less thing away
In the UK we bin around 20 million tonnes of good food a year. By only buying what you need, not only will you avoid the guilty feeling you get when you find soggy lettuce in your fridge, but you'll be saving cash too. And we're not just talking pennies here, the average household throws away one shopping bag of food in three, which in just a year adds up to £420 per household.
Why not try leftover makeovers? Instead of binning those 'passed-their-use-by-date' bananas, mash them into a cake mix, throw in some chocolate chips (Fairtrade, of course) and you've got yourself a waste-saving, tasty treat.
You'll be helping tackle climate change too. Avoidable household food waste generates 18 million tonnes of CO2 every year - eliminating this would cut emissions equivalent to taking one in five cars off UK roads.
