“It’s not about money. It’s about not wasting!”
Housewives do not just take care of their families. They also have great ideas for tackling the problem of food waste.
The Hong Kong Federation of Women’s Centres has established a community food cycle in Sham Shui Po. Housewives take the initiative to collect leftovers from different outlets in the neighbourhood, and share them with families in need.
Further to our experience with leftovers in Yaumatei, we worked with housewives over the course of four workshops. Their experience, knowledge and connections come together in this Sham Shui Po Cherish Food Guide, conveying their values and mindfulness.
Let us learn from them and rethink our attitude to food.
“慳，其實唔係因為錢嘅問題，而係唔想浪費！”
家庭主婦不只照顧一家大小，更可為剩食問題提出充滿生活智慧的好主意。
香港婦女中心協會早已於深水埗建構完整的剩食回收網絡，讓婦女們親力親為到社區各處收集剩食，分發給其他有需要家庭。
承接油麻地社區的剩食經驗，《深水埗惜食圖鑑》以區內婦女力量為首，透過四節工作坊組織整理婦女們的經驗、知識和網絡，與公眾分享惜食的價值觀。
面對剩食問題，不妨向她們學習，從根本開始改變對食物的態度。
