EDITORS COMMENTS
Save Kitchen Scraps to Feed the Hens: A 1940s Poster Calling for Waste Reduction and Community Cooperation During the tumultuous 1940s, as the world grappled with the challenges of World War II, people were encouraged to make the most of their resources in innovative ways. This evocative poster, titled "Save kitchen scraps to feed the hens," is a testament to the spirit of wartime frugality and community cooperation. The image shows a cheerful hen pecking at a plate piled high with kitchen scraps, with the caption urging households to save their leftovers for their poultry or pigs. The poster emphasizes the importance of keeping the scraps dry and free from glass, metal, bones, paper, and other contaminants. It also notes that the local council would collect the scraps, further encouraging households to participate in this waste reduction initiative. This poster is a poignant reminder of the resourcefulness and resilience of communities during the war years. With rationing and food shortages a reality for many, finding creative ways to make the most of available resources was essential. By repurposing kitchen scraps for animal feed, households could not only reduce waste but also contribute to the war effort by freeing up valuable food supplies for human consumption. The poster's simple yet effective design, featuring a charming illustration of a hen and a clear, concise message, underscores the importance of community cooperation and resourcefulness in times of hardship. Today, this message remains relevant as we continue to seek ways to reduce waste and live more sustainably.
