STOP WASTING FOOD

“Stop Wasting Food” is Denmark’s largest movement against food waste. Since 2008, this initiative has participated in over 200 local, national and international projects, events, campaigns, charity projects, research projects, debates and many other activities in the fight against food waste.

They say that you will save your money and time by reducing your food waste. You will help reduce your carbon footprint by minimizing your food waste. You will help take care of Earth’s limited resources and also you will act responsibly in a world where every ninth child, woman and man is starving.

They also give some advice what to do at home, in the supermarket, in a cafe, restaurant or a canteen. Here’s some of the advice they give:

Use the food that you already have in your refrigerator, your kitchen cupboards and in your freezer. Less food waste means that you’ll save your money, you’ll save your time – and at the same time you’ll save the planet.

Leftovers is free bonus food – create a new attitude towards your leftovers. When you use your leftovers, you save a trip to the supermarket, you save your time and you save your money. A leftover salmon today can turn into a salmon salad tomorrow.

Use smaller size of plates and dishes – for the past 20 years, the sizes of plates have grown all over the world. By using a smaller size of plates and dishes on the dinner table, you’ll make sure that you’ll waste less food.

Stop Wasting Food Movement has a message for you: “Let’s be united against food waste. You have the power. Do not try to change the world – just try to change yourself. And then the world will follow.”
