Dosbarth Owls and Dosbarth Red Kites took part in an Energy Warriors workshop with Jen from Egni Coop focussing on the environmental impact food waste and food production has on the planet. The pupils learnt about food miles, discussed food waste and discussed ways we can reduce the impact of food waste on the environment.
Activity description
Did you know that food waste is one of the greatest sources of greenhouse gases?
Or that primary and secondary schools in the UK waste over 80,000 tonnes of food every year (that's the same as 8000 blue whales).
Tackling food waste in your school is a great way to cut your carbon emissions! This linked presentation provides an overview of why food waste is such a huge environmental problem. It can be run either as a one hour activity for an eco club or teachers can use the linked worksheets for 2-3 sessions of class work.
