How can I shop greener?

Shopping greener is often just as simple as shopping less, shopping local and trying to avoid excessive packaging.  

We also suggest:

• When shopping take your own bags to avoid buying more at the checkout.
• When buying fruit and vegetables aim to buy items that aren't wrapped in plastic, you could bring your own reusable mesh bags with you to the shop so you can easily carry any loose items you buy.
• Be conscious about what you are actually buying, try to go for environmentally friendly, fair trade and natural products where possible.
