What the petition asks
Food waste is a massive issue in our country. Super markets have started to donate food. As an ex waitress it came to my attention that millions of pounds of food is being wasted at big events such as football games and concerts. Donating or reducing the food could cut waste and help those in need.
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.
We understand that you're concerned about food waste, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
