The campaign to reduce food waste is in its third week, and we’re already seeing some great results. We’d like every student and teacher to join in the campaign, so if you haven’t started yet, read our blog and join in!
Stop wasting food at school.
“The children are making a big effort to think in a sensible way about the food they put on their plates. We now have about 15% less waste and we think this percentage grows as more children join in the campaign,” school lunch director Marge Kaplan said. The school canteen now offers two portion (份) sizes for all main meals: small and large. This week they’ll replace single bread rolls with slices of bread. You can take as many slices as you want, but one at a time.
Latest news!
From next week you’ll be able to put any waste from fresh fruit and vegetables into the special green bin at the back of the canteen. Miss Norris, the school gardener, will empty the bin each day into a giant compost (堆肥) container in the school’s vegetable garden. That can be used to improve the quality of soils.
Stop wasting food at home.
Every year, we waste about a third of our food. In the UK, more than 97% of food waste ends up in a landfill (废物填埋) site. That’s a lot! Come to a special meeting with supermarket owner Carlos Rodriguez to learn how we can save food and money at home!
Campaign meeting!
When: Friday 12 May, 5-6 p. m.
Where: School hall
What: Top tips on how to store food, measure sensible portion sizes and cook tasty meals from leftovers
Students and families are welcome!

It's not too late to register as an Ask a Graduate volunteer!
Can you inspire and guide new students from The People's Republic of China, who are hoping to study at Sheffield?
This November, the University of Sheffield is launching Ask a Graduate. A brand new volunteering programme aimed at supporting potential new students. We're looking for alumni (校友) like you to support the next generation of Sheffield students.
What is Ask a Graduate?
Ask a Graduate gives students from The People's Republic of China the opportunity to speak to you, ask questions about your Sheffield experience and discover how this has influenced your career.
You'll remember that choosing where to study was a big step. As potential students are currently unable to visit Sheffield in person, it's even more important to connect with them in other ways. By sharing your experiences, you could help inspire talented students to choose Sheffield for their masters.
What do I need to do?
Around 1.5 hours of your time on a day and time that is suitable for you, between 17th May–20th June 2022.
To be available to attend a 1 hour training session on either the 19th, 20th or 27th April.
Fill out the registration form below and provide a professional photo.
How do I register?
If you're interested in joining the programme, you can find out more and register to become an Ask a Graduate volunteer on our website.
You'll be asked to answer a few questions about your university experience and career, which we'll share with the offer holders. Please allow 10-15minutes of your time for registration. The deadline is 9thMay, 17:00 GMT+1.
If you have any questions, or you are unable to use Google Forms, please email roisha.marsden@sheffield.ac.uk.
We look forward to hearing from you!
