Put your New Year’s resolution into practice and start reducing your food waste
The end of the year is approaching. In the Netherlands this is the time to contemplate about your resolutions for the coming year. What do WUR students and employees have in mind? Perhaps you are planning to take the bike more often instead of the car? Or you want to start a weekly desk clean up?
Maybe we can suggest one...
Help to achieve the food waste reduction target of the United Nations. You can start right away by inspiring your colleagues and fellow students: Make a picture of your best left over recipe. Publish it on Instagram, use #WURlife and #foodwaste and win a box full of Verspilling is Verrukkelijk products. No Instagram? Send your picture to info.wfbr@wur.nl.
If we all waste less now, we together make a big difference. In this way we contribute to a more sustainable world for now and later.
