Ahead of Food Waste Action Week (6th-12th March), voters considered the action being taken by UK supermarkets to tackle this ever-growing problem. In the lessons, they explored what is being done and how – if at all – this might be improved.
"I think supermarkets should do more as they are in control of what is in the shop and the date given. However, I think food waste should be down to the people buying it, they should take responsibility for what they buy."
"No, and they won't in the future either. Supermarkets, like most other companies, do NOT care about ethics, only profit earned. If they decide to tackle food waste, they'll most likely lose profit, and stop immediately.”
"Stop Wasting Food. Supermarkets could do more, like sending wasted food to charities. They should also make fresh produce loose packaging so people would take only what they need. Supermarkets need to put people over profits and think more about our future!"
