The idea is to promote embracing sustainability, reducing waste and as a by-product saving money on shop bought compost and the emissions from the transportation\/production of that. &nbsp;Maybe you have been composting for years, maybe you have a compost bin languishing in a corner that could be put to good use. You don\u2019t need a bin of course; a heap works perfectly well.&nbsp; Excellent advice is available on the RHS, BBC and Garden Organic websites.&nbsp; Give it a go!<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"440\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/bloxham.info\/broadsheet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CompostBins-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63012 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloxham.info\/broadsheet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CompostBins-1.jpg 440w, https:\/\/bloxham.info\/broadsheet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CompostBins-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bloxham.info\/broadsheet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CompostBins-1-92x55.jpg 92w, https:\/\/bloxham.info\/broadsheet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CompostBins-1-310x186.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-divider stk-block-divider stk-block stk-f86c8bb\" data-block-id=\"f86c8bb\"><hr class=\"stk-block-divider__hr\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hot on the heels of Compost Week is Food Waste Action Awareness Week, 18<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 24<sup>th<\/sup> March.&nbsp; Love Food Hate Waste runs the annual campaign aimed at reducing the amount of food which is wasted in UK homes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:26% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"266\" height=\"268\" src=\"https:\/\/bloxham.info\/broadsheet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Fresh-Food.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62984 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bloxham.info\/broadsheet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Fresh-Food.jpg 266w, https:\/\/bloxham.info\/broadsheet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Fresh-Food-55x55.jpg 55w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, 60% of the food that is wasted in the UK is wasted by people in their own homes.&nbsp; That\u2019s 4.7 million tonnes of food being thrown away every year that could have been eaten.&nbsp;Figures vary but it\u2019s been estimated that the average family waste up to \u00a3700 of food every year. Love Food Hate Waste aims to educate and&nbsp;inspire people to keep food out of the bin and on their plates.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apparently 1.4 million bananas are wasted every day in the UK!&nbsp; This simple ice \u2018cream\u2019 is delicious. Peel them, cut into pieces and freeze.&nbsp; When frozen add a little lemon juice and some vanilla essence (both optional), blitz to make instant ice cream.&nbsp; Its so easy to put food in the food bin, when we could do more with it, help our bank balances and the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Love Food Hate Waste have a great website with top tips and recipe ideas for
