Food waste is a big problem, as a lot of it ends up in landfill. When organic waste (like food scraps or garden waste) is buried in landfill, it breaks down in a way that generates emissions, contributing to our changing climate. While we’ve been doing a much better job of composting our city’s household organic waste since our food scraps and garden waste kerbside collections were introduced, we can always do better.
‘Love Food Hate Waste’ is helping Kiwis cut their waste and grocery costs by providing free meal planning tools. You can download a free meal planning template to print yourself, or pick up a free magnetised version of this to stick on your fridge at your local library (limited to 30 available at each library) or request one here by sending us an email with your name and postal address (limited to the first 30 requests we receive).
Or check out Love Food Hate Waste’s website for more free meal planning tips and tools.
Love Food Hate Waste NZ has launched a series of cookbooks designed for families of four or more people. Each book provides weekly meal plans, shopping lists, and new recipes each week. The recipes are based on what seasonal produce is available in your local supermarket.
