Food Waste
This campaign ran from April to June 2024, in collaboration with Compost-It and
Incredible Edible Leeds.
A blog explaining why the way we dispose of
food waste matters.
Anna and Emma talk to Husain from Compost-It about the current Leeds Craftivists campaign on Food Waste. This is a really fascinating conversation covering the complexities of sustainable disposal both in general and also here, in Leeds.
Watch Adam’s TedTalk here.
