The Bishop of London spoke yesterday at the Feeding the 5000 event at Trafalgar Square. At the event, lunch, made from food that would otherwise have been wasted, was served free to members of the public to highlight the problem of food waste and the many practical ways to solve it.
Addressing the audience gathered at the event, the Bishop of London said:
"We should be treating our earth with respect knowing that our well being depends on the well being of our planet. We should be mindful of the hungry in a land of plenty where we can apparently afford to discard 25% of what we buy. We should devise a simple prayer over our dustbins and develop our awareness of how heavy or light is our footprint on the earth."
