War on Waste New Image

How much food does the average household throw out each year? Do plastic bags really get recycled? How much food is being wasted before it gets to the supermarket shelves? A war on waste has begun to find the truth behind the way our nation manages waste, and what we can do about it.

Join Craig Reucassel (The Chaser) and Wendy Harmer (Mornings on ABC Radio Sydney), as they explore the big issues in waste management, talk to those behind change, and learn how every little bit can make a difference.
