It was a brilliant two day expo at the Excel Centre.

It was good to see that the Waste Authorities were in attendance and had a chance to network.  It was good to hear that the sort of things that we are doing in West London such as the Repair Cafes, the Library of Things and more are happening across London.  The food waste collection has been absolutely revolutionary in allowing all those of us who have embraced it wholeheartedly to see what we were wasting and giving us the incentive to find ways to avoid that waste.  www.lovefoodhatewaste.com - different versions for the different UK countries - has been inspirational and has been closely followed by many other websites including those of the supermarkets.

Now our own food waste - orange peel and onion skins - unless there is some disaster - fits into the compostable sleeve on a New Scientist magazine.  We were as children taught not to waste and learned to love and appreciate what was put on the table and not to treat the home kitchen as a restaurant - and that has been a great help.  Returning to sitting down as a family for the same meal makes it much easier for the cook too and also makes for a more relaxed social occasion!

PS  The worms in the wormery don't have such a good diet - its a lot of banana skins, tea leaves, some carrot peelings and the odd ancient bank statement.
