Food Waste Avoidance 8 - Waste Less Food

View Waste Less Food video:


Why are we wasting good food?

 
At a household level:
  • Australians discard up to 20% of the food they purchase
  • This equates to 1 out of every 5 bags of groceries they buy
  • Up to 40% of the average household garbage bin is food
  • For the average Australian household, > $1,000 of food is thrown away each year
What could this be spent on:
  • Enough to feed the average household for over a month
  • Paying off six months of your electricity bill

The Bose Soundbar 700 Won't Connect to App

Bose has one of the best speaker sound. I learnt about Bose more than 25 years ago and still a fan.  I bought Soundbar 700 in 2018.  It took me a while to set it up but it has been giving me troubles once a while.  Recently, I was not able to connect Soundbar 700 with my phone.  Done the factory reset on the soundbar, it didn't work. I spent hours reseting everything multiple times and finally I found this article,  https://www.bose.com.au/en_au/support/articles/HC1380/productCodes/bose_soundbar_700/article.html .  Tweaking them all and finally got it to work again.

They are referred to as having an enrolment ceiling and/or a designated neighbourhood area (formerly known as zones).  Any additional students must be enrolled strictly according to Department of Education and Early Childhood Development priority criteria.
