A group of neighbours have started their own community mealtime to cope with the cost of living crisis and jacket potatoes are the only thing on the menu! 🥔
Adam Walters, 50, launched the initiative in his street near Lloyd Park in Walthamstow, east London Using a microwave could cost £0.05 for many meals, as it will cook food in a much shorter time than in the oven.
Adam added: ‘It’s such a simple idea but it works as a quantifiable way to reduce our neighbourhood’s carbon emissions.‘It’s so easy to set up and I’d love to see more communities start their own schemes.‘We are saving on our energy bills, reducing carbon emissions and fostering a sense of community – what’s not to like?’View the conversation
Adam and his neighbours focused on potatoes so far as they are so easy to prepare and can provide the basis of any meal – vegetarian or otherwise – but the idea of sharing ovens could be extended to anything people want to cook.They then made a Google Doc so neighbours could request whether they wanted a meal each week, so the week’s designated ‘chef’ knows how many to cook.
