Kiwis throwing away less food in lockdown, study finds

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Central Leader

Hi neighbours,

Kiwi households are throwing away less food in the Covid-19 lockdown, a University of Auckland survey reveals,

The number of people who claimed to rarely or never waste food rose by almost 20 per cent in lockdown to 80 per cent.

Respondents that claimed they never threw food away almost doubled.

Over 3000 respondents were asked in the Covid Kai Survey about how often they threw away food among other things.

Households with children wasted food more often, before and during lockdown, but were also more likely to decrease food waste during lockdown.

People who were confident in their cooking skills and planned meals ahead of time wasted the least.

Have you been throwing away less food in lockdown?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
