The Eco Committee led a whole‑school assembly focused on reducing food waste. They shared what they had learned from monitoring lunchtime waste and explained why it is important to avoid wasting food. The committee gave practical suggestions to help everyone reduce waste; such as going through the school menu with parents so pupils know what to expect, choosing a packed lunch if preferred or asking for smaller portions if they are unsure they will finish their meal. The assembly encouraged pupils to think carefully about their choices and take responsibility for reducing food waste across the school.
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.
