Nude Food Day is a nationwide initiative developed to encourage kids and parents to eat well and live well, and eliminate all unnecessary packaging and wrapping that goes into schools.
Essentially, kids bring their food – nude! This will reduce the amount of rubbish that goes into the bins, that goes into the ground, that pollutes our planet. This is an amazingly simple concept that really empowers the kids to create change, you will be amazed with how enthused they can become!
Bonbeach Primary participated in this day in 2014, and in 2015 we (Jade and Amy) were lucky enough be Ambassador's for this day.
We have taken Nude Food Day a step further and developed a weekly competition where the Environmental Leaders of the school choose the best looking Nude Food feast where amazing prizes are up for grabs!
These Environmental Leaders are passionate about Nude Food and we want to see more and more students embracing the concept each week. We also have compost buckets in each classroom, where scraps are given to our 6 chooks, our worm farm and our 4 compost bins. Paper is also shredded and divided up between these areas as well. Ideally we would love to become a waste free school, and embracing Nude Food is paramount to this goal.
What is Nude Food?
Nude Food is simply food that is not wrapped in foil, plastic or commercial packaging. The best type of nude food consists mainly of fresh food, so that it is healthy and nutritious PLUS environmentally friendly.
Promoting Nude Food empowers students to make conscious choices about what they eat, and encourages them to think about their impact on the environment (and their health). You might be amazed with how enthused your child can become on this...
How to get on board?
Purchase a lunchbox with compartments or smaller containers inside - leave your wrappers at home - it really is that simple!
