3. God of the Poor –
Graham Kendrick
Lord, end our madness
Carelessness, greed
Make us content with
The things that we need

4. Why do we do this?
We throw away 7.2 million
tonnes of food and drink
from our homes every
year, the majority of which
could have been eaten. It's
costing us £12bn a year and
is bad for the environment

5. We waste.....
26% of our fruit & vegetables
16% of our drinks
13% of our bakery
12% of our meals
10% of our dairy
6%
of our meat

6. To sum up...
3 harvest action points..
1. Lord, end our madness
Carelessness, greed
Make us content with
The things that we need
2. Give thanks at all mealtimes for the food we
do have – wherever we are eating it
3. Stop wasting the food that God gives to us...
