The UK wastes 10.2 million tons of food a year – with the majority of it down to us at home.

A mum-of-three was locked up by police after putting her recycling out in the wrong colour bin bags. Lyndsey Webb, 34, was caught dumping household waste in black bags on three occasions in Ipswich, Suffolk, a court heard. She claims she had requested orange bags from the council but they never arrived at her home.
