| HOW TO REDUCE OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT BY OUR FOOD CHOICES 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.
