Food waste competition encourages children to get creative and recycle

Hillingdon Council has launched a competition for local primary aged children inviting them to share creative and sustainable ways to store food waste indoors to try and win a prize.   Children aged between four and 11 are tasked with finding or repurposing a container in their home, such as an ice cream tub or old lunchbox, that could be used as a food waste caddy.     The initiative encourages children and their families to learn about food waste recycling and its benefits to the environment. It helps people reduce waste, save money and be more sustainable by reusing items in different ways.     The competition, which will run until Sunday 25 June, has three categories: - Best recycled/reused food waste container - Best food waste reduction idea - Best waste less, spend less idea   #competition #foodwaste #recycle #sustainable #reuse #wastereduction #creative Read the full article
