Make it illegal for supermarkets to destroy edible food in effort to cut waste.
It is estimated supermarkets waste 300,000 tonnes of food each year. France has just made it law for supermarkets over a certain size to donate there waste foods to charity's. Though there are volentry schemes in the UK, should we not take similar steps to make it mandatory.
