Batch cooking is a great way to save time and money. Next time you’re cooking a meal that freezes well, make double the amount and put half in the freezer for an easy meal another day. Check out @thebatchlady for tips! #FoodWasteActionWeek

Once you’ve made a weekly meal plan including fresh foods you already have, check what you’ve got in your cupboards and write a shopping list for only the things you need. #FoodWasteActionWeek

If there’s anything that can get us through #HumpDay it’s that smug feeling of knowing you’ve got your work lunch sorted because you boxed up last night’s leftovers! #WinDontBin #FoodWasteActionWeek

Have you heard about @MartinSLewis @MoneySavingExp #NUPP - No Unnecessary Presents Pact? The idea is that we can take some pressure off by agreeing with friends and family not to buy each other unnecessary presents just for the sake of it 💪🎄youtu.be/MwtJ5a-snvo

Takeaway trays can be recycled but must be clean! Food makes them hard to recycle & ruins paper. Wash, rinse or wipe containers before recycling. #RecycleWeek

Plastic is sorted using air jets, and this doesn’t work if there’s liquid inside. Rinse, empty, squash and replace caps to recycle bottles the right way. #RecycleWeek
