By issuing a meal ticket per user as opposed to per meal sitting, Grub Stub helps reduce waste paper. An average festival sees a reduction of 700 sheets of A4 card whilst large festivals can see a saving of up to 2,000 sheets. That’s about 10% of a tree! #eventprofs #BigGreenWeek

Food production is thirsty! It takes an astonishing 1,927 kilolitres (one thousand litres) of water to produce one tonne of food, representative of what would be provided as crew meals #eventprofs #saynotofoodwaste #BigGreenWeek

This #BigGreenWeek we’re considering how to tackle #foodwaste 🥗🌽🥕. We love using our wormery as one way to use up leftovers and scraps

One way we try to reduce our carbon footprint and ensure we are being conscious consumers is by shopping local and supporting #Bristol based businesses @BirdandBlendTea @WildOatsBristol @S_C_China #BigGreenWeek #BuyLocal

#FoodWaste is not just a consideration for consumers, we need to be mindful in the workplace too #eventprofs teapaw.org/FAOinNENA_EN/status/99…
What is #FoodWaste? When consumers throw away edible food or leave it to spoil. #NotWasting #ZeroHunger

It’s day 2 of #BigGreenWeek! We use the @UKgeneco #BioBee to stay as green as possible. It collects #FoodWaste from #Bristol businesses and is powered by the waste it collects. DYK 1 bin load can power it for 20 miles #RenewableEnergy #CleanAir #LowCarbon

Did you know an average event will have to dispose of 1.6 tonnes of uneaten food, with some large events having to deal with up to eight tonnes? Pretty scary, right #eventprofs #saynotofoodwaste #BigGreenWeek

Did you know the average food item travels 4,133 miles to get to your plate and will often travel even further to end up in landfill? #eventprofs #saynotofoodwaste #BigGreenWeek

Today our Bristol office hosted a number of events inspired by a sustainable initiative in Bordeaux, The Darwin Ecosysteme. Here are the finished masterpieces from our art session at lunchtime. Who knew architects could paint? #EUGreenWeek @biggreenweek

On average, projects that have used Grub Stub has revealed that over 40% of meals are uneaten. As it's Big Green Week, why don't you take the opportunity to see how you can reduce food waste at your event ow.ly/cshJ30k6mJ6 #eventprofs #saynotofoodwaste #BigGreenWeek

Sometimes it's hard to provide meal and drink tickets without thinking about the impact on the environment. Until now! Little Tickets opts in to The Woodland Trust scheme to offset the carbon footprint by planting trees across the UK #eventprofs #BigGreenWeek
