World Environment Day, Think-Eat-Save

Today is World Environment Day, a global day for positive environmental action organised by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). It takes place on 5th June each year, and this year’s theme is Think – Eat – Save, an anti-food waste and food loss campaign that encourages us all to reduce our ‘foodprint’ by buying local and thinking more consciously about our food choices.
