Start by investigating about the problem - how much food gets wasted in your school? Then explore the solutions. What if the cafeteria went trayless? What if they offered an option of smaller portions? What if everyone that brought their own food to school became more mindful of how much they are able to eat? What if there is a way to redistribute the perfectly edible food to other charities? Creating an awareness raising campaign can also help make a huge difference. Make a movie, take photos, spread the word through your and your school’s social networks using the hashtag #ThinkEatSave! Learn what other food waste warriors are doing everywhere else in the world. Whatever you do, make it creative, fun and, of course, effective. We want to see the results in your school and behavior changes among the students. We need you to tell us your story! Remember, you need to let us know about the details and results of your project before 16 November.
