April 2023: This month’s invited speaker was Paul Earnshaw - a Tesco executive who is responsible for the packaging in Tesco’s Non-Food and Packaged Divisions and is a recognised industry leader in sustainability. Paul talked candidly about the benefits and problems with packaging, plastics and recycling. We learned some surprising facts about what true sustainability really is and (if nothing else) understood more about which bin to put our rubbish in!
During the talk Paul Earnshaw showed some data to put food creation, processing, transport and packaging in perspective. Here is the source: food choice vs eating local - OWiD
