Key messages • These form the basis of the pledge card • Plan meals and only buy what is needed • Make a shopping list and stick to it • Only cook what is needed for each meal • Use leftovers to create new meals • Check use by dates in the fridge and freeze anything that wont be eaten in time • Keep fruit and vegetables in the fridge (except bananas) • Keep a food waste diary for one week to see how much/what types of food are wasted

Packaging • To use the Love Food Hate Waste campaign to raise awareness of the extent and implications of food waste and increase the performance of food waste reduction behaviour by the region’s population • Most people blame packaging as the problem • Food waste has at least 10 times the environmental impact of packaging waste and that’s before taking account of the impact of methane from decayed food
