The announcement of the competition Take the Plunge against Food Waste is on their Facebook page and is open to all adults who can contribute an idea which will help to fight against food waste in our country.
If you are interested in participating you still have time until the 15th May. The prize will be for the planet if we humans begin to think about its future and not about our present.
