Waste

The High Street has been accepted onto The Street That Saved challenge!

The High Street is going head-to-head with Norfolk town Thetford.

During August, if you join us, you'll be asked to save food waste, do some fun challenges, and save money. The Street that Saves the most will win, as well as helping yourself and the planet.

Win: £50, plus £50 worth of products and save up to £730 over the course of the year! Oh, and they’ll be a mega bonus prize for the street that saves the most.

The Street That Saved is on the radio. And is set to be on TV, too.

The Street That Saved is a competition between Suffolk and Norfolk to waste the least and save the most money!

Here's our podcast (under the Use It All banner) of the radio interviews done on Saturday morning.

Keep an eye and ear out for the story on BBC Look East next week.

Our first Challenge is keeping a week's record of what we throw away, foodwise.

Norfolk County Council are all over this

On Sunday 8th August the Triangle Market Sails hosted a Smoothie Bike.

The Bike - basically a food blender powered by mad cycling – was a part of the launch of Lowestoft High Street's effort to become the Street That Won The Street That Saved, the competition designed to help us waste less food.

The figures are astonishing. The world, and us, throws away thirty percent of the food we buy. And not only does this throw away money, it chucks the planet under a bus.

So Hubbub welcomed the great and the good, as well as the enthusiastic and vocal participants.
