IN THE
DIARY
DON’T WASTE UNFINISHED FOOD
One app is helping to solve the problem of food waste
one unfinished jar of pickle at a time. Olio works on a
local scale by finding takers for people who want to
pass on unused but perfectly good food. The app’s co-
founder, Tessa Cook, came up with the concept when
she was moving house and had a fridge full of food
that she didn’t want to throw away. Olio, which could
be useful for people running holiday accommodation
or farm shops, has 942,000 members including shops
and cafés with excess food at closing time and home
vegetable growers with seasonal gluts.
GREY PARTRIDGE SURVEY
Help monitor the numbers of the endangered
grey partridge by joining the Game and
Wildlife Conservation Trust’s Partridge Count
Scheme. The survey has been running since
1933 and requires participants to make a
count of partridge’s on their land twice a
year, once in Spring and once in Autumn.
You can even take part if there are no grey
partridges around you so the Trust can
undertake work to expand their current
geographical range.
