September 8th, 2023Locals encouraged to help cut big food waste, curb emissions

The average household in Victoria throws away $2600 worth of food a year. Food that ends up in landfill creates harmful greenhouse gases.

The Hepburn Shire Council is now urging locals to help avoid adding to the problem and instead sign up for Good for the Hood @Home to watch talks and get tips for using up leftovers and meal planning.
 

In its new quarterly sustainability e-newsletter the local council also inviting local residents to join the I Love Leftovers Challenge to see how much money they can save by reducing food waste.

Sign-ups close this Saturday 9 September and the Challenge runs until Saturday 7 October. Participating residents can go in the draw to win prizes by including a Thermomix.
