Kiwi households are throwing away less food in the Covid-19 lockdown, a University of Auckland survey reveals,
The number of people who claimed to rarely or never waste food rose by almost 20 per cent in lockdown to 80 per cent.
Respondents that claimed they never threw food away almost doubled.
Over 3000 respondents were asked in the Covid Kai Survey about how often they threw away food among other things.

People who were confident in their cooking skills and planned meals ahead of time wasted the least.
Have you been throwing away less food in lockdown?

Footpaths will be widened by up to seven metres to from Customs Street to Mayoral Drive, and this layout will retrofitted to the northern section of Queen Street between Customs and Shortland Street.
Private cars will be blocked from travelling the length of Queen Street by introducing an Essential Vehicles Area (EVA) between Wellesley and Wakefield Streets.
This means only essential vehicles including buses, bikes, mopeds, motorcycles, goods and service vehicles and emergency vehicles will be allowed.
