bin are bread, potatoes and milk. _______________________________________
_______________________________________
In order to solve this problem, the UK government
has started a campaign to reduce food waste. Food
producers, shops, restaurants and consumers are
being encouraged to work together to stop food
waste. Consumers are advised to consider
quantities and not buy too much food because of
discounts. Food waste companies work with
businesses to reduce food wastage and maximize
use from any food waste. Some restaurants and
supermarkets deliver any unsold food to homeless
shelters and food banks. Food banks were set up to
help feed the growing number of people affected by
poverty. These food banks collect food donated by
businesses or the general public. People who need
emergency supplies are given food at the banks.

As we attempt to solve this serious problem, more


possible solutions are being tried out; for example,
some local councils are using food waste from
homes and businesses to produce energy and heat.
Burying food waste underground increases the
amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
and, as a result, speeds up global warming. By
taking action now and reducing food waste and
converting it into energy, we won’t only protect the
planet, but we’ll also save billions of pounds.
