HOW MUCH FOOD DO WE WASTE?

Lithuanian students, participating in the Erasmus+ project „Changing habits, changing the world“, made some research on the amount of food people waste in Lithuania, Europe and in the world. They were really surprised to find out that one Lithuanian throw away approximately 171 kilos of food per year. Also, food waste per year is worth around € 235. Moreover, over 88 tons of food in Europe goes to waste.

Students prepared posters with all these facts and put them on the wall in our school canteen. They calculated the amount of food our students throw away during lunch breaks for one week. They were really shocked with the results. On average, each day students threw away around 7 kilos of soup, 8 kilos of main course and 3.5 kilos of drink. The following video illustrates the experience of our environmentally friendly agents.
