On Thursday 6th October Jen Barrett came in to school and spoke to us about Falkirk’s Waste Watchers Challenge. We learned that over £1 billion worth of food is wasted in Scotland each year. That’s an average of £430 per household, the equivalent of 1 in every 3 shopping bags going straight into the bin! We are going to work with our parents and complete a food waste diary to note how much food we throw away for 1 week. We will then try to reduce the amount thrown away the following week. We will be sharing our results at assembly so watch this space!
