Food coming from overseas has a negative impact on the environment.
This is as a result of the energy required to get it to us here in New Zealand.
FOOD MILES - WHERE DOES MY FOOD COME FROM?
Ask an adult if you are allowed to look at some of the tins and packets in your cupboard at home.
>> Take a range of tinned foods and packets out.
>> Most food labels in NZ say the country of origin - the place where the food was made, processed or packaged.
>> Have a look and see how many different countries your food has come from.
>> It can be written in different ways so read carefully!
>> Share some of your answers in the comments box below.
Here's some of mine ...
- Water Crackers - Made in Australia ๐ฆ๐บ
- Watties Beans - Made in NZ ๐ณ๐ฟ
- Chickpeas - Produced in Italy ๐ฎ๐น
Remember - it is always better to buy local food - it's fresher and better for the environment
Such an awesome idea! I might weave this into our Sustainable Energy and Climate Change lessons at Sunnyhills. Thanks for the inspiration, Christine Daniel
