WASTE WATCH

Reduce

your food waste

The cost of fresh food is rising which means every lettuce leaf counts! That’s why now is the perfect time to learn how to reduce your food waste at home.

Cornersmith Cooking School and Love Food Hate Waste NSW have joined forces to offer free online tutorials to help you reduce food waste. You will learn how to make the most of what you have in the kitchen. The course includes four engaging video tutorials and a downloadable handbook including all the course recipes.

REUSABLE PARTY KITS FOR LOAN

As part of our ongoing commitment to reduce single use items across the shire, we’ve collaborated with Richmond Tweed Regional Libraries to offer reusable kids party kits at Alstonville, Ballina and Lennox Head libraries.

The kits can be loaned by library members:

Switching to reusables reduces your party’s carbon footprint as well as waste going to landfill

The kits include a set of 12 plates, bowls, cups and cutlery which are made from recycled plastic helping to support a circular economy

The kits allow parents to model cost effective sustainable practices to their children

Parties can generate a lot of waste – a public bin audit showed that on weekends, some park bins are clogged with single use partyware

So for your next kids party, head over to Alstonville, Ballina or Lennox Head and be part of the solution!
