Decomposing food waste is a major source of methane emissions, and methane is one of the main culprits behind the rising global temperature.

Throwing away less food is obviously one thing you can do, but you can take things a step further by stopping your favourite shops and restaurants from wasting the food they don’t sell.

Before you raise those eyebrows, we’re not suggesting you start raiding their bins. All you need to do is download the Too Good To Go app, and you can collect it from them directly.

There are loads of participating restaurants nationwide, from high street staples such as Paul to smaller independent outlets with an eco-friendly outlook.

Just check the app, see what’s available near you, then take the food off their hands in a special Too Good To Go doggy bag.

You get a cut-price meal while also saving some perfectly good food from ending up in the bin. Win-win.
