May 2026 Challenge
Action
This month, I want you to take a grocery shopping survey!
Next Challenge:
why it's important?
We throw away billions of pieces of food packaging every year in the UK alone, and lots of that is plastic. Some will be recycled, but not all. Food needs to be kept fresh and hygienic to eat. After all, we don’t want to waste food by spoiling it!
But maybe we don’t have to use so much packaging. Some brands have started swapping plastic for cardboard, or reducing the size of the packaging around the product inside.
How You can help?
-
Find out what packaging can be reused or recycled.
-
Look for ways to reduce the packaging you buy.
-
Tell your community!
Adah's Action Challenge
The Challenge: Take a grocery shopping survey!
Look for the most and least packaged items in the supermarket. Compare different ranges or brands of the same product – make a list or chart to log your survey results!
-
Things to think about: Which item is wrapped in the most packaging overall? What’s the least heavily packaged? Can you think of ways the manufacturer could cut down on waste while still keeping the food safe?
