GEORGE EUSTICE: Wasting food damages our planet


Nobody wants to see good food go to waste. Yet, as a country, we waste 1.2 million tomatoes a day. We throw away 3.1 million glasses worth of milk and we waste 920,000 bananas.
These numbers are shocking, and made all the worse by the untold damage that our wastefulness is doing to our environment.
Those 1.2 million tomatoes we throw away every day generate 113,000 tons of CO2 emissions – through the labour that goes into seeding, the watering, the fertiliser, the harvesting and the transport. 
If everyone threw away no food for one day, it would do the same for tackling climate change as taking 14,000 cars off the road for a whole year. Picture: Stock
