Tackling food waste requires us to consume differently, and that can be tough. After all, we're creatures of habit. Which is why we need more creative thinking and applications to help people eat food rather than bin it. Creative environmental campaigns charity Hubbub, supported by Starbucks, has launched the second round of the Eat It Up Fund. So if you or someone you know is working in this space or has a great idea, apply below. #foodwaste #sustainability #environment
