Clear A Plate This Christmas

December 15, 2014 · by munchiesandmunchkins · 3 Comments

You may have heard about the #clearaplate campaign from Unilever or even seen the video starring Jimmy Doherty. But have you really thought about it?

The #ClearAPlate campaign from Unilever Project Sunlight, supporting its partnership with Oxfam, launched in November with the Waste Not Want Not research which shows that ‘food poverty’ and ‘food waste’ are issues closer to home than many of us think. The research reveals an alarming paradox:

Over a fifth of parents in struggling households have
skipped meals themselves, in order to feed their children

Yet 75% of us are throwing away food, even struggling families

20% of struggling families have actually borrowed money from family or friends in order to buy food

Yet half of comfortable families in the UK over buy

7 in 10 adults in struggling households feel anxious
and stressed about not having enough to eat

Yet 1 in 10 of us think food is so cheap it doesn’t matter if we throw it away

Things need to change.

#ClearAPlate to help the hungry.

Unilever has launched the #ClearAPlate campaign which pledges to provide an additional half a million meals to families in need through its partnership with Oxfam and calls on people to do their bit to address food waste, in order to help fight hunger.

People can show their support for the #ClearAPlate campaign through three simple steps:

• CLEAR their plate of food and take a photograph
• UPLOAD the image on their social media using #ClearAPlate to raise awareness of the issue
• VISIT www.ProjectSunlight.co.uk to find out other ways to support the campaign, including donating meals or time to Oxfam. People can also find tips and advice on reducing food waste and clever recipe ideas
