Food Wate Facts
The amount of edible food wasted in the UK could fill eight wembley stadiums!
Food waste causes global warming in many ways:
-
Manufacturing
Storage
Transport
Disposal and Rotting - this releases methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
If everyone in the UK didn't waste food for one day, this would have the same impact as planing half a million trees!
70% of food wasted in the UK comes from households!
The tomatoes wasted by UK households have the same greenhousegas emissions as 51,000 cars!
Every year, 330 billion litres of water are used to grow bananas which will be wasted.
