This week, we made contact with key members in the European Parliament and Council, calling on them to halve Europe’s food waste by 2030, showing the growing movement of over 10,000 people who’ve already joined our call as well as 19 environmental organisations from all round Europe. Thank you for joining our growing movement! Please share our campaign to the hills - click below to “Share” on facebook or tweet about it on twitter, to build on this momentum!
