Think. Eat. Save
The average Australian family wastes over $3,500 of food every year. That’s 5 average size fridges of food every year. People shop for the week, stack the fridge and food gets forgotten – stuck in the dark corners of the vegetable crisper or hidden behind jars of jam.
The fridge is the epicentre of kitchens everywhere. It’s time to help Australians learn how to rescue the forgotten food in their fridge, while also teaching them to not over shop – to make smaller food shops, more regularly, with specific meals in mind. They could save a lot of food and a lot of money.
The Event
Think. Eat. Save. is an annual event held by OzHarvest in Martin Place, Sydney. This year we re-named Martin Place to Market Place, and highlighted ways to reduce food waste and use all your food. We created take home collateral, used 5 fridges to outline the amount of food that is wasted on average, and had a range of renowned chefs and restaurants cook meals for the public with ingredients that are commonly wasted.
