Too Good To Go is launching a new downloadable educational programme aimed at helping children aged 6 to 11 learn about food waste.
Too Good To Go Next Gen is a free, downloadable education programme designed to help mentors, parents, teachers, and caregivers explore the topic of food waste with children through hands-on activities and games.
Available on the newly launched Education Hub on Too Good To Go’s website, the programme includes two handbooks designed to help children understand and act on food waste:
- ‘What in the world is food waste?’ introduces children to what food waste is, where it comes from, and why it matters for the environment.
- ‘How to avoid food waste’ explores everyday ways to waste less food, from smart storage tips to zero-waste recipes.
Commenting on the launch, Sophie Trueman, Country Director UK & Ireland at Too Good To Go, said: “With over 500 million meals already saved from going to waste globally and over 45 million in the UK alone, Too Good To Go believes that engaging the next generation is critical to building a more sustainable future.
“By inspiring and empowering the next generation to fight food waste together, we can expand our impact for both people and the planet.”
Too Good To Go is an online marketplace for surplus food. The mobile app connects users with restaurants and stores that have surplus unsold food, which is available to purchase at a discounted price.
