Weighing of leftovers at Vändra Gymnasium in January 2016


Food waste. Weighing of leftovers in Vändra Gymnasium on Thursday, 26 January 2016.

 

Our school has two separate eating groups during two breaks.

In the first group there were students from forms 1-6. For the first group there was made 104,163  kg of food. There were 2 kg of leftovers.

In the second group there were students from forms 7-12. For the second group there was made 99,684 kg of  food.

 19 teachers also ate in the school canteen during the second shift and their food weight was 11,971 kg.

Altogether there were 3 kg of leftovers during the second lunch break. So every student and teacher threw away about 0,01 of their food.

To sum up, the weight of leftovers was 5 kg. During the observation it turned out that students mostly threw away  beetroot. Actually, we should always eat salad as it is healthy.

Last year there were  28.5 kg of leftovers but this year only 5 kg. We would like to thank our cooks for good meals and students we do not like to waste food.

Other students who do not participate in our project did not know anything about the food weighing.
