Reduction Raider breaks bread with Lily Pearson Food Waste Heroes Account Manager at Olio.

Alright Raiders

Working for OLIO, a platform that connects neighbours and local businesses to share more and waste less, Lily loves food but hates waste & has a huge interest in the impact of food waste on the environment. Originally from Devon, where she found her love for scuba diving, sea swimming and anything ocean related, she was brought up vegetarian and went vegan at university. She here focused on how meat and dairy consumers use the power of distance to disassociate their actions from the wider ethical consequences in her undergrad, before exploring how food is used as a catalyst of care during the global pandemic in her postgrad. On university holidays, Lily worked in the food industry and independently set up a mini and unofficial food waste system, in which she redistributed the surplus food to the local homeless. www.olioex.com www.goodgym.org
