Love is in the air, every time I look around. Love is in the air, every sight and every sound. And we don’t know if we’re being foolish, but this month’s three steps are all about love. Loving food, loving the planet and loving East Hampshire.

60% of UK food waste comes from homes.
18million tonnes of CO2 are generated by UK homes from wasted food and drink.
Up to eight meals could be saved each week if we stopped binning our food at home.
These are just a few facts showing the scale of food waste in the UK. By making small changes to your weekly routine such as food planning, knowing what you already have and cooking your leftovers, you can do your bit to bring these figures down.

We’re currently holding a public consultation into our draft Local Plan which deals with everything from housing to infrastructure to the environment.
Reducing the effects of climate change and achieving carbon-zero developments are top priorities for the council, and the Local Plan is an important tool to help us reach these goals.
This can be done in two ways, firstly by reducing carbon emissions during the construction of homes, and secondly, by making sure the homes have a low carbon footprint across the span of their lifetime.
The strong environmental policies in the Local Plan are a response to the climate emergency and the urgent action we must take to mitigate the impact of development and housing on our environment.
