Greetings and welcome to Zero Waste Week 2020 which runs from today until 11 September. This year’s campaign is focused on food waste and I’ve been keeping an audit of the food my family of four has wasted over the past seven days.

Before I had a family I would go to enormous effort to lead a green lifestyle. I would attempt to eat seasonal foods and watched food kilometres like a hawk. I’d tear all those little plastic windows out of used envelopes before placing them in the paper recycling. I’d recycle every single piece of food
