Reading

The average UK family throws away about 24 meals a month. This amounts to about 4.2
million tonnes of food and drink a year. Almost half of this food goes directly from fridges or
cupboards into the bin. About 60% of this waste is thrown away before its ‘use by’ date. The
top three foods that end up in the bin are bread, potatoes and milk.

In order to solve this problem, the UK government has started a campaign to reduce food
waste. Food producers, shops, restaurants and consumers are being encouraged to work
together to stop food waste. Consumers are advised to consider quantities and not buy too
much food because of discounts. Food waste companies work with businesses to reduce
food wastage and maximize use from any food waste. Some restaurants and supermarkets
deliver any unsold food to homeless shelters and food banks. Food banks were set up to
help feed the growing number of people affected by poverty. These food banks collect food
donated by businesses or the general public. People who need emergency supplies are
given food at the banks.

As we attempt to solve this serious problem, more possible solutions are being tried out; for
example, some local councils are using food waste from homes and businesses to produce
energy and heat. Burying food waste underground increases the amount of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere and, as a result, speeds up global warming. By taking action now
and reducing food waste and converting it into energy, we won’t only protect the planet, but
we’ll also save billions of pounds.
