We used the energy sparks converter to check how many tonnes of CO2 our food waste is emitting. We found out that the carbon emissions makes our earth hotter. We mode a demonstration of how the Earth might be feeling by a child acting as the earth and we put lots of coats on her to demonstrate how the earth warms up through greenhouse gasses
Now it's time to calculate exactly how your school's waste is affecting the environment. Download our food waste calculator to calculate some useful data about how much your food waste costs your school and the planet. Use the impact data to communicate to the school community the importance of not wasting food. You could run an assembly to share your food waste facts and ideas of how your school could cut food waste in future.
