Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2000
Think. Eat. Save. Sydney.
Martin Place was awash with yellow as OzHarvest and United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) aimed to feed 5000 people a free hot lunch using rescued food that otherwise would have just ended up as landfill. Free tickets to the event were sold out but volunteers still let people walking past know they could come in for a free feed. I arrived late so missed out on seeing many of the chefs that had prepared the dishes but managed to try a very nice vegetable curry and some very delicious desserts. Thanks to Sylvia Fonseca from Liquid Ideas for letting me know about this special event and Cecilia Koong for helping me with extra information on the day.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Free event, Awareness of a great cause, Very delicious desserts, Amazing support from chefs and volunteers
CONS: There's no avoiding a queue with so many people
MUST TRY: Avoiding to waste food
VERDICT: Great tips and inspiration for the public on how to save on waste
