Environment Minister urging families to avoid waste this Christmas

The Environment Minister is urging people to avoid food waste this Christmas.

Denis Naughten's department says Irish homes throw out over 1 million tonnes of food every year, wasting an average of €700 a day.

They are encouraging households to plan their shopping and meals, use up left overs, dispose of food correctly and know the difference between "Use By" and "Best Before" dates.
