While some people are starving or simply can't afford to buy enough food, supermarkets throw away over 3050 tonnes of food each year, most of which is still edible.

We are targeting TESCO, because it is the fourth largest retailer in the world and UK’s biggest supermarket chain.

Support us by signing this petition and help to stop food waste!

I have chosen for many years not to buy fresh food from supermarkets. I find the waste situation deplorable and needs urgent attention and supermarkets taking responsibility

It is more important that food is cheap and available than it is pretty and to waste food because it is deemed UGLlY is stupid and immoral

This waste is diabolical, apart from the millions of starving people, this is also putting our crop growers out of business

It's shameful the way supermarkets throw away food that is still edable, why dont they give it to children's and nursing homes.

Please don't throw food away. There are many hungry people. You will be held accountable.

Disgraceful. It's time to hold these massive businesses to account for their disgusting practices.
