Think about where your food comes from try local produce
• Think about where your food comes from try local produce
• Don’t buy anything that has been on an aeroplane if you can grow it in the UK
• Grow some of your own veg even a window pot of herbs or a growbag of tomatoes will help and will taste better
• Buy unwrapped fruit and veg, take your own bags, shop at a greengrocer if you can’t get it loose at the supermarket
• If you are cooking anything in the oven, use up all the space by cooking a second dish and freezing it/eating it the next day
• If you eat meat, ask where it comes from and if it’s reared outside (grass is much less carbon intensive than growing grain to feed to animals)
• If you are BBQ-ing, use local charcoal from sustainably managed woodlands
• Eat your weeds! Young dandelion leaves are good to replace curly endive lettuce, fat hen is like spinach try Richard Mabey’s book Food for Free
• Eat raw food more salads means less energy needed for cooking
• Make yourself a rocket stove and cook outside on a tiny amount of fuel instead of using a conventional BBQ
