#schoolgarden's are not only beneficial for the school community but also for the wider community. This article is a great read about some of these benefits. There is so much to learn about #livingsustainably. #UoNTeach https://t.co/95gpYLTEDw

As all our students learn differently, this poster is a great way to get the message out about #sustainableliving across to all (in particular our visual learners). #UoNTeach #saynotofoodwaste

When creating an intergrated project students need to be engaged. In the 21st Century classroom, ICT is a great way to do this. I will be showing my class this great video full of facts & strategies to reduce #foodwaste and move towards #livingsustainably!

@naomiprosser1 @KeepCup I 100% agree! I also only learnt this recently, and have previously thought that they could go in the recycling bin. I will have to have a look at this series. Thankyou for sharing :)

[Meg Foster @meggfoster]

Look what arrived in the mail this week!
Excited to have received my first @KeepCup, and even more excited to be contributing to a more #sustainablefuture. You could make a difference to!

What a brilliant initiative set up by @WWF to assist schools and students in tackling #foodwaste! #UoNTeach

The benefits of cross-curricular learning in the 21st Century are endless!
These texts will be great resources in my integrated unit to develop the students knowledge/ideas on our #schoolgarden and #wormfarm whilst also exploring some of their features throughout. #UonTeach

@Stop_Food_Waste @guardian Thankyou for sharing this insightful article. There is so much that we can all do with our excess food before throwing it out and these are some great examples. #saynotofoodwaste #sustainablefutures #UoNTeach

[Meg Foster @meggfoster]

@TowerGarden @MissCreganClass What a great idea! I have never heard of these before, but they look fantastic, especially if schools don't have enough space to build larger vegetable patches. Such a great way to introduce fresh produce and talking about #foodwaste into the classroom! #UoNTeach

[Meg Foster @meggfoster]

What a great initiative by #LakeMac to better manage our waste. This is the perfect time to introduce this topic into our schools as many students will be able to make greater real-world connections. #UoNTeach #saynotofoodwaste #sustainablefutures https://t.co/erXY75avv0

[Meg Foster @meggfoster]

This Behind The News clip shows a great way that students can help their local community to reduce #foodwaste. I will definitely be showing it to my students to begin their community project. #UoNTeach #sustainablefutures

What a positive impact this school is having on creating a #sustainablefuture! Worm farms are such an effective way of reducing waste in schools. I will definitely be incorporating one into my community based project. #UoNTeach #saynotofoodwaste

"At the moment we are trashing our land to make food that no one eats" (Stuart, 2012).
Such a powerful message with some shocking images of the current food wasting occuring in the world @TEDTalks. #UoNTeach #saynotofoodwaste #livingsustainably

[Meg Foster @meggfoster]

I completely agree @Indiana_Steel! It doesn't just stop at recycling! Increase in food waste is causing unnecessary pollution that is destroying our planet.

So much can be done to turn around these issues and head towards a #sustainablefuture! DO YOUR PART @UoNTeach https://t.co/NtTbvF7oj3

[Meg Foster @meggfoster]

@eatsustainable @AptTherapy Thank you for sharing these! I will definitely be looking into them and sharing them to explore how we can reduce food waste. #saynotofoodwaste #UoNTeach

[Meg Foster @meggfoster]

This is a great resource that I will be showing my students to get them thinking about ways that we can use our produce from our #schoolgarden to create our no-waste cookbook. #UoNTeach #saynotofoodwaste #livingsustainably #healthyschools #growcookeat https://t.co/ZXZuzfFL3F

Hate that feeling when you find soggy salad greens in the fridge? Here are ideas for using up every last leaf of those greens before they go bad. https://t.co/3pSZou825a #foodwaste

@MrJackson411 I just read this great guide from @USDANutrition on how to start and maintain a #schoolgarden! Has lots of useful tips and pointers. Hope this helps with your garden. #UoNTeach

Creating a #schoolgarden is a great idea! Not only will it raise students awareness of where foods come from, but it also ensures that all students and their different styles of learning are catered for. It's hands on, inclusive and enjoyable! #UoNTeach #foodwaste https://t.co/uBViRmH6iy

Raise students’ awareness of where foods come from with a #schoolgarden https://t.co/xGwcOlGOpW #farmtoschool

[Meg Foster @meggfoster]

So much fresh produce is wasted because it doesn't look 'the way it should'. Just because these foods aren't within their best before dates doesn't mean that they aren't still fine to eat. What a great idea Tesco! #UoNTeach #foodwaste #notimeforfoodwaste https://t.co/gOsqpJWN7x

[Tesco News @tesconews]

We’re removing Best Before dates from nearly 70 fruit and veg products to help reduce #foodwaste #notimeforwaste

[Meg Foster @meggfoster]

It's not just the scraps that are being wasted! Think about the time, energy, labour, water and other resorurces that went into growing the produce next time you're wasting it. #UoNTeach #foodwaste #livingsustainably https://t.co/Ys5zHyrKmv

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

Food waste = waste of:

🥕 Food
💧 Water
🌱 Land
⚡️ Energy
👩‍🌾 Labour

When we waste food we waste so much more than what is just going in the bin. #foodwaste #ZeroHunger
