What the petition asks
I have been working at a supermarket for 2 years. The food that is damaged and in date gets wasted and is a tragedy as people are on the streets and have no home or food. The guilt of throwing good food away whils people are starving is disgraceful.Lets make a change.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask Parliament to change the law, to require supermarkets to donate food waste to charities.
