It is estimated that around 264 tonnes of domestic food waste goes to landfill from Bute.
Domestic food waste contributes 1066.64 tonnes CO2e to the island’s footprint. 89% embodied emissions, created during production and transportation. 11% from food waste to landfill.
Meanwhile we have rising food bills and some folk in food poverty resorting to food banks.
So what are we going to do about it? We have an exciting new Climate Challenge Fund project. And we would love you to get involved!
- Grow Your Own workshops – fancy learning how to grow your own crops in small spaces and containers? Watch out for news on about our practical horticulture events!
- Community Growing Space at Bute Produce – we will be setting up raised beds to support households who would like to Grow Your Own but don’t have space!
- Food Waste Collection Service – we are looking for 50 households to get involved in this pilot. This will help us understand better the type of food waste, develop the right service to take it out of general waste, and understand what issues will need to be overcome to get it right for Bute.
- Community Composting area for bio-degradable material. We will trial different methods of composting to establish the most effective and efficient way to turn waste into a valuable resource.
- Community Composting for Local Food Growing – an exciting learning event to close the loop.
If you Love Food and Hate Waste – this is the project for you. Get in touch. Get involved. Let’s be the change we want to see.
