We decided to focus on limiting food waste as
our topic since it affects us daily and is
something that can make our living greener and
more sustainable if we all try our best to achieve
it.

the results of the International School of the Hague in the
Netherlands.

Here is a video that explains our work during the project in further detail.
OUR SOLUTION



Our solution to limit food waste was to digitally
produce a small but informative leaflet to educate
our school about limiting food waste. This way, they
would be able to share their knowledge with friends
and family, spreading the word about food waste
and making our community more aware of it.
Sections we have included in our leaflet are:
- What is food waste?
- Understanding labels
- What you can do
- Foods with the weird look
- What is already being done
We have also included a link to the results of the
survey so that people can see what others do to
limit food waste
CONCLUSION


From this project, we can conclude that the best
solution to limit food waste is to educate others
about it as education is the best tool to solve a
problem.
Our leaflet was made to educate our school but it
can be slightly altered to be implemented on a
larger scale in neighbourhoods and the city to
have a greater impact on limiting food waste.
