Go Real also estimates, with the vast majority of the 813,000 (and rising) babies<br />
born in England and Wales each year using disposables, that’s a staggering 3 billion<br />
disposable nappies being used- which translates into over 355,000 tonnes of waste<br />
produced and an annual disposal cost to local authorities (and tax payers) of £32<br />
million.<br />
It is not just our local community that benefits, but our wider environment as well.<br />
Reports have shown that a 40% carbon saving can be made through using reusable<br />
nappies compared to using disposables- and yes that includes the washing!<br />

Love Food, Hate Waste<br />
Are you wasting £50 a month by throwing away perfectly<br />
good food? www.lovefoodhatewaste.com<br />
cars off the road.<br />
The food we throw away is not only a waste of resources<br />
and money but some can end up in a landfill site, where it<br />
will rot and release methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. If<br />
we stop wasting food which could have been eaten, it will<br />
have the same impact on carbon emissions as taking 1 in 5<br />
While some of the food waste thrown away is peelings and bones, the majority is, or<br />
once was, perfectly good food. The main reasons for throwing away food is due to<br />
cooking too much e.g. cooking too much rice or pasta which gets left in the pan or<br />
plate and not using food in time e.g. throwing out fruit or vegetables because they<br />
have gone off.<br />
We know there are a lot of reasons why food might not be eaten in time - our plans<br />
change, we forget what food we have in the cupboard, forget to chill/freeze<br />
something to use at a later date or we lack the confidence or knowledge on how to<br />
use up our leftovers.<br />
Using these simple steps can help you to reduce the amount of food you throw<br />
away:<br />
1. BUY the food you need<br />
Plan your meals<br />
Make a shopping list<br />
2. EAT the food you buy<br />
Store food correctly<br />
Cook the right amount<br />
Eat it all or store leftovers
