A UK Law to make supermarkets give waste food to charities
The UK is Europe's most wasteful country. We throw away 14 million tonnes of food every year. We need to change that.
Italy has a law which makes supermarkets donate their waste food to charities. We need to follow suit and do the same in the UK as the demand on food banks continues to grow.
There are a number of articles on this:
