The eco reps now record the food wastage every day so that we can see which dishes cause the wastage. These reps held an assembly to talk to the whole school about this. The wastage charts are there for all to see in the dining room. We discussed the different types of food waste: counter, plate and prep. We explained where the food waste goes. We have introduced a 1,2,3 portion size so that pupils and staff can ask for smaller or larger portions.
Activity description
Everyone in your school needs to do their bit (or bite!) to tackle food waste. Hold an assembly to share the key facts about food waste and the main messages of what this means for your school.
Think carefully about who you want to hear your message. You might want to invite school governors, parents or dinner staff in or invite them to participate in your assembly.
