Guernsey families frittering away £800 a year in food waste, says new campaign
Guernsey families could be losing up to £800 a year in food waste, according to a new campaign.
'Food Is Not Rubbish' aims to highlight the problem, and teach people how they can throw less away.
Guernsey Waste, which is behind the push says it hopes good shopping habits adopted during lockdown could reduce the amount of food ending up in the island's bins.
It comes after research suggested that, during lockdown, nearly half of UK households said they were throwing away less and, of those, half were planning meals more carefully - with 40% were using leftovers more.
She added that the situation has improved with the introduction of separate food collections.
