European Week for Waste Reduction 2010

EWWR is to take place from 20 to 28 November 2010. From Monday 22 to Saturday 27 November 2010, Cork County Council intends to run an awareness campaign, based on the national stopfoodwaste.ie campaign. A StopFoodWaste display will be located at each of the following locations: Midleton Library, Youghal Library, Cobh Library, Charleville Library, Mallow Library, Skibbereen Library and Clonakilty Library. Composting: A Household Guide and A Guide to Managing your Household Waste & Domestic Water Usage will be available at each of the libraries listed above during the European Week for Waste Reduction. Both guides are free. This event is part of the Local Authority Prevention Network Programme which is funded by the EPA National Waste Prevention Programme. The message of the campaign is to reduce the amount of food waste you produce and compost what you do produce. The Stop Food Waste Programme was established as part of the EPA National Waste Prevention Programme (NWPP). The aim of the programme is to help householders reduce the amount of food they waste and save money. The stopfoodwaste website, www.stopfoodwaste.ie , has all the details about how to reduce the amount of food you waste. It also provides information on all aspects of food in the home including tips on better buying, savvy storage, canny cooking, random recipes and all aspects of home composting. The EWWR is a 3 year project supported by the LIFE+ Programme of the European Commission until 2011. The EWWR is to raise awareness about waste reduction strategies, to promote sustainable waste reduction actions and to encourage changes in behaviours, in terms of consumption & production, in everyday life. To find out more about EWWR and events that are to be held throughout Europe please visit www.ewwr.eu For more information on food waste prevention visit www.stopfoodwaste.ie
