THIS YEAR'S World Environment Day celebrations support Think.Eat.Save, an anti-food waste and food loss campaign encouraging everyone to reduce their foodprint.
Every year 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted, equivalent to the same amount produced in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, 1 in every 7 people in the world go to bed hungry and more than 20,000 children under the age of 5 die daily from hunger.
Given this enormous imbalance in lifestyles and the resultant devastating effects on the environment, Think.Eat.Save encourages everyone to become more aware of the environmental impact of the food choices and empowers individuals and organisations to make informed decisions.
We are asking people to act, by spreading this message, to reduce food waste and protect our environment.
