The aim of the project is to popularize behaviors aimed at not wasting food and limiting the formation of its leftovers among young people. In addition, our goal is to promote the idea of Live Green and activities aimed at reducing waste generation among our peers . According to the FAO, approx. 1.3 billion tons of food per year. Thisis 1⁄3 of the amount of food produced suitable for consumption. In Poland, 1⁄3 Poles admit to throwing away food. Annually we waste approx. 9 million tons of food , i.e. the average Pole wastes about 52kg of food annually. It is for these reasons that we as young people would like to do more to reduce food waste by promoting appropriate practices. Our activities are to contribute to the increase of awareness of young people, providing them with appropriate knowledge about not only the importance of this process, but also the possibilities of counteracting it. That is why we want to put special emphasis on the culinary aspect. We are going to create an accessible book that will show young peoplelike us how to prevent food waste in a healthy and tasty way. Importantly, we intend to focus here on the practical aspect of learning through non-formal education.

The “Live Green ” project will involve 33 young people from Bulgaria, Romania, Italy and Lithuania, Italy. Our participants will be between 18 and 27 years old. We are really interested in the issues of the Live Green idea. We would like to know more about food issues, waste segregation,the repeated use of certain things so as to reduce their throwing away. We designed this project in such a way as to address all these issues. For this we will use workshops in a restaurant, a trip to an ecological farm, as well as a trip to the local waste incinerator . It is also an ideal opportunity for us to learn more about other participants of our
