My comment didn't publish :(.
From me...Hi Isa<br />My comment didn't publish :(. <br />From memory, all the way back to yesterday, I also like the book Waste. Have you read anything of Sharon Astyk's? I've only read her blog posts - I was quite into reading her back when I spent more time thinking about peak oil and washing nappies, and less time flicking the tumble drier on and calculating how much clothing and food needs preparing to get us through the nmext day. But she does have a book called Depletion and Abundance, which seems promising given your comments. Greta to see you blogging again Isa!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00679010667380926214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337202956439809776.post-66915948383336171062012-05-07T13:42:30.972-07:002012-05-07T13:42:30.972-07:00Hi Kim, I think it's great that dumpster divin...Hi Kim, I think it's great that dumpster diving is raising awareness about the extent of food wastage but it's only the tip of the iceberg. A huge proportion of food is wasted even before it gets to the supermarket - often because the industry has a perception that people won't eat knobbly carrots etc. - but also because massive supermarket chains can forecast a whole lot of food that they end up not needing and their suppliers are relatively powerless and have to prepare the food anyway. I am familiar with the Simple Savings website. I like the idea of the 21 dollar challenge - but am yet to attempt it. <br /><br />Have you, by any chance seen anything academic written about dumpster diving in NZ?Isahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13690870857568808886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337202956439809776.post-42022124316226512432012-05-07T05:23:04.575-07:002012-05-07T05:23:04.575-07:00Hey Isa, great to see you are posting again. Love ...Hey Isa, great to see you are posting again. Love the new layout. Dumpster diving has been discussed a bit in NZ as a way to stop the food waste. Have you read the 21 dollar challenge? Basically they try and fight the food waste mantra by doing food audits and meal planning, it's pretty cool: www.simplesaving.co.nz or .com.au. Take care!
