“What do you do with the rotten food?” a student from Westmere School asked. Christmas is around the corner and tonnes of food have been reportedly thrown away after the festivities. Food waste makes up around 40% of the average household rubbish bin or bags in Auckland. It is a major concern that we take seriously. Waste Minimisation is a big part of the Wesley Market and the Auckland Council. With the help and support of Mt Albert Grammar School and EcoMatters Environmental Trust, we have working towards creating a zero-waste market by 2020.
