Use the local shops rather than always using the supermarket.
- Check where the food you are buying comes from – and keep as local as possible!
- Walk or cycle to the shops where possible.
- Don’t be tempted by the offers – only buy if you really want or need the produce.
- If your local shop doesn’t stock what you want, ask if it is possible for them to do so.
- Join a Box scheme or buy organic if possible.
- Buy local vegetables that are in-season.
- Buy local honey and local specialities.
- Use tap water rather than buy bottled water.
- Use concentrated bottled drinks rather than canned drinks.
- Grow some vegetables your self.
- If you have no garden get an allotment.
- Avoid factory-farmed meat.
- Buy free-range meat and even better, free range organic!
- Reduce the amount of red meat eaten.
- If you eat tuna make sure it is dolphin friendly.
- Avoid overfished species of fish – eg Atlantic swordfish, Atlantic salmon, North sea cod.
- Buy a sprouter and produce your own seed sprouts in several days.
- Avoid take-away food or ask if you can bring your own re-usable containers.
