No such thing as a free meal? I beg to differ, Sir!
We try to avoid all types of waste here at PECT – but of all the things that could end up in landfill, food is something that we have particularly strong feelings about. In fact, if it’s fit for human consumption most staff will go to great lengths to avoid ditching it. Our CEO won’t think twice about trimming away mouldy bits from fridge leftovers, Kim adds leftover veg to her hummus and Janine has been known to rescue tasty morsels from the floor. Some of these things make PECT staff sound rather extreme...but fear not, there are plenty more appealing ways to reduce food waste whilst saving money on your weekly shopping bill. That’s why we are all so excited about this Saturday’s ‘Feed the 1,000’ event at Ormiston Bushfield Academy which has been set up to highlight the fact that every year 1,000 meals could be made with the amount of money the average family wastes on food.Between 11am and 3pm at the Academy you can turn up for a free meal prepared by top chefs in Peterborough using food that has passed its sell by date but not its best before date. Experts from the Love Food Hate Waste campaign will be on hand with information on how to reduce your food waste and there will also be cooking demonstrations throughout the day. Guaranteed to be more tasty than a hummus smoothie! For more information follow this link
