Let’s fight back against food waste

Did you know that the average Essex household wastes £60 every month by throwing away food that could have been eaten?

In total, that’s £720 a year. This is why the Love Essex team want to help put this money back into your pocket. Not only is food waste costing us all money but it harms the environment and feeds climate change.

Throughout 2023, Essex residents are being encouraged to sign the Essex Food Waste Pledge and complete monthly challenges to reduce the amount wasted in the county. If you sign the pledge and complete a challenge, you will be in with the chance of winning £60 in supermarket vouchers.

To watch the new short film all about food ending up in the wrong place, ‘What a Waste’, head to the Love Essex YouTube channel. To sign the pledge, and find top tips on how to reduce food waste and save money at home, please visit: youtu.be/S9smVgD924k
