Just exactly how much food are we throwing away uneaten? Ursula Hirschkorn, 36, of North London kept a diary for a week to discover just how much food her family throws out, and the amount is staggering:
The average family throws away £610 of perfectly good food each year — much of it totally untouched — according to
figures released this week. That works out at £11.73 a week. And all of that adds to the £10billion of waste across the country.
I think some stores are cutting back on their refrigeration a few degrees to save money or employees are just poorly handling items.
I also have a larger compost bin by the garden as well.
