Food waste in our school

At school it's a very coomon event because, when the lessons finish, on the desk or under them, or even in the bin, there is a lot of food wasted, that is surely still good to eat. That food isn't going to be eaten in the next days, so it's just going to expire. And it's not just food but drinks too.

We suggest to make shop owners and consumers aware of this problem and try to reduce this waste by raising awarness of the amount of food wasted and of the amount of food that can still be eaten but is thown away everyday. We also suggest the use of the app "Too Good To Go"
