This spring the London Borough of Hounslow is launching the Small Change, Big Difference campaign to help residents make small food changes to lead better, healthier and more sustainable lives. Our three key aims are to:
Promote healthy and sustainable eating
Reduce food waste
Increase food recycling
Our campaign has kicked off and runs until the end of March. Please keep an eye out for our posters displayed across the borough and follow our social media channels where we’ll be sharing more information on the event and roadshows we will be carrying out, as well as tips and small changes YOU can make!
Did you know?
- If everyone in Hounslow recycled one banana skin today, we could make enough energy to charge 518,000 phones?
- If everyone in Hounslow went meat free one day a week, we could reduce greenhouse gases by more than 13,000 tonnes a year?
- If everyone in Hounslow froze their bread to make toast, we could save 80,000 slices from the bin every day?
- A caddy load of food waste could generate enough energy to power a fridge for 18 hours?
When it comes to eating healthily, reducing the amount of food we waste and recycling what is left over it only takes a small change to make a big difference!
Come and join us….
