21.01.2022 Yandina Community Gardens Food Waste Loop program has been operating for just over a month and we couldn’t be happier with the impact we’ve had already! We have diverted over 1.25 tonnes of waste, and saved over 2,400kg of C02-e emissions from our beautiful environment. We have 10 businesses onboard who are happily separating their waste, and redirecting it for a greater purpose! We are so happy we are able to utilise this resource rather than it end up wasted in landfill. ...Our hot compost piles are cooking, we are feeding our worms a variety of great scraps, and it’s warming up for the black soldier larvae. Check out a few photos from the past month. #foodwasteloop @ycgfoodwasteloop

02.01.2022 SILO WHOLEFOODS Silo Wholefoods divert their veggie scraps with Food Waste Loop!... They also take some home to feed their own chickens! Nicky, the owner of Silo Wholefoods, thinks it’s so important for people to consider where their waste ends up, and is inspired by the magic of her grandparents. Growing up, my grandparents grew all their own food, very little went to waste. It was a time where living sustainably was a way of life. ... Thank you Silo Wholefoods for your amazing contribution to Food Waste Loop and providing the Yandina Community all our bulk food needs! #foodwasteloop #ycgfoodwasteloop #yandinacommunitygarden #lovefoodhatewaste #compost #community #yandina #silowholefoods
