"Don't waste food. Get rid of old habits"
One third of food produced in Poland is likely to go to waste while over 2.5 million Poles suffer from poverty and undernourishment. In order to prevent such a situation the Polish Food Banks have started a nationwide campaign under the banner: “Don’t waste food. Get rid of old habits”. According to Marek Borowski, the chairman of the Federation of Polish Food Banks, Poles should use what was produced in a sensible way because by wasting food they waste its packaging as well as energy and work effort put for its production. A special website called www.niemarnuje.pl has been launched by the Food Banks with information on storing food and recipes for leftover dishes.
