Environmental Shopping

• Buy locally - not only is it good for the local economy, it will save energy because products have not travelled across the globe to get to you.
• Reduce waste by choosing reusable products instead of disposables. Buy products with minimal packaging (including the economy size when that makes sense for you) will help to reduce waste.
• Bring your own carrier bag
• Check and compare energy ratings before buying large appliances - especially your refrigerator. It uses more energy than any other appliance in your home

Wrapping Presents

• For the arty - try string and newspaper
