Think before you shop!
We love to hear from our readers on how we are helping them shop in a more environmentally friendly way. It is February, so the supermarket and green grocers shelves are changing for the season, so aim to pick locally produced vegetables and produce. Better still, visit your local farmers' market. Remember, it makes a big difference reducing the carbon footprint in buying local ingredients. Simply pick the appropriate list: Northern Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere. Remember, by buying seasonal food you ensure that you not only get the best ingredients, you do your bit to save the planet. That has to be worth a read!
