Eco Friendly Food Shopping
When you go food shopping there are a number of choices available which can help you to buy more responsibly both towards the environment and to your local area.
Before you go shopping think about your main concerns, so if you want to support your local businesses then take a trip to your local shops and famers markets rather than using a big name supermarket, or if you are concerned about fair trade then you may prefer to shop at a supermarket as some chains can provide a large number of fair trade options which support international fair trade schemes around the world.
If you are interested in eco friendly farming methods then there are a number of organic and free range produce on offer from most good stores and local markets, which can help you to support more natural food production techniques.
You may not be able to shop completely green every time you go out to the shops, so don’t worry if sometimes you do need to pop to a big supermarket instead of the local shops, just as long as you are aware of more eco friendly shopping methods and put them into practise as often as you can.
