10 Steps to Chuck Less

So over the past few months we have been working on a Food Waste Campaign. We have been lobbying the Unviersity to install a food composter on site so that we can start to compost the food waste coming from our Unviersity outlets.

10 STEPS TO CHUCK LESS

Keeping edible food out of the bin is good for our pockets and the planet combined!
