Love Food Hate Waste
Over £1 billion worth of food is wasted by consumers in Scotland each year. That’s an average of £430 per household. £130 million of meat and fish waste is thrown away by Scottish households every year – that’s enough to make everyone in Scotland a bacon buttie every Saturday for the next year!
Two thirds of all food waste could have been eaten with half of it still being untouched.
Better meal planning can help you to buy what you need, saving you money and saving our environment. If we stopped wasting all this food, we could prevent the equivalent of 1.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year in Scotland. This is the same as taking 1 in 4 cars off the road.
