Every Bite Programme launch We all know the feeling of reaching into the fridge and finding a fossilised carrot or a slushy courgette. Wastebusters is determined to make this a thing of the past with the return of Every Bite, the food appreciation programme that is helping households reduce food waste and save money on their groceries, one zero-waste trick at a time. With New Zealanders throwing away around 157,000 tonnes of food every year (roughly equivalent to the weight of 2.4 million sheep!), food waste is more than just an annoying fridge cleanout, it’s a nationwide problem and one that starts in our kitchens. That is where local chef and zero-waste champion Evelyn Vallilee comes in. Evelyn and the Wastebusters team will get the programme underway on Thursday, 30 April at the Lake Wānaka Centre. Participants will enjoy a
delicious dinner cooked by Evelyn, learn more about Every Bite, pick up some practical tips to keep on top of grocery shopping with minimal waste, and receive the resources they need to get started at home.
