How This Helps

When we shop for groceries, so much of the food that we buy is thrown away. We often buy more than we need, and this is usually because we're just guessing what we’ll eat over the next week. If we plan what we buy, it will not only save money, but will reduce the amount of good food that we throw away and help protect the environment. Win-win!

For Schools

All of the Make Wasty tasty missions can also be run as lessons in the classrooms. Giving teachers an easy way to get help Make Wasty Tasty at school!
