Save the Planet and Eat In

Why cooking at home is eco-friendly:

 

Did you know that grabbing a takeaway can have a hidden impact on the environment? Cooking at home is a simple way to be a green student hero:

  • Cut the Carbon Footprint: Deliveries from restaurants pump out emissions. Cooking at home keeps your carbon footprint low and it's a great way to get some exercise carrying your groceries back from the shops!

  • Ditch the Disposable Drama: Restaurants generate mountains of waste from packaging, napkins, and utensils. Cooking at home allows you to use reusable containers and shopping bags, reducing your overall waste footprint.

  • Be a Food Waste Fighter: Restaurants often have high levels of food waste. Planning your meals and portions at home helps you avoid throwing away perfectly good food. Leftovers can be repurposed into new meals, saving you money and reducing waste.

 

Small changes in your kitchen can make a big difference! Here are some resources to help you be a more sustainable student:

  • Love Food Hate Waste - Tips and tricks to reduce food waste in your kitchen.

  • Students Organising for Sustainability - A student-led organisation promoting sustainability on campuses.
