Next week (from Monday 1st March to Sunday 7th March) the organisation WRAP is launching the first Food Waste Action Week. They - and I quote - 'will bring together organisations from retailers to local authorities, restaurants to manufacturers, and beyond'. WRAP will be showing everyone that food waste is a problem, and will work with a variety of partners.
WRAP is an organisation that works with everyone to make the world a healthier, safer place. They are located in the UK but their work is global as the world's key sustainability charity. Their main four areas are: food and drink, plastic packaging, clothing and textiles, and collections and recycling. But they do more than that too. You can see their (very good) website here. WRAP has a history of doing many food waste campaigns, including Love Food Hate Waste in 2007. Some of their other work includes the Food Waste Reduction Roadmap, the Sustainable Clothing Action Plan, UK Plastics Pact and Recycle Now.
In this first Food Waste Action Week, WRAP are going to spend it making the world aware of environmental effect of wasting food by promoting activities and sharing knowledge. They will explore practical ways to reduce food waste. Their goal is to halve food waste by 2030, helping the UN's Sustainable Development Goal. Click here to go to the website that will hold a webinar on 4th March about Food Waste Action Week. The website (the Guardians of Grub) also shows other ways to save food.
