Everyone can do their bit to live a greener lifestyle and to be kinder to the planet, and when it comes to shopping, the ways that we shop and what we choose to buy there are lots of things that we can do to be environmentally conscious.
Here are some of the ways to do this…
Buy Less – Consider what you are buying and if you really need it – we have all at one point or another been convinced to buy more with deals and offers but decide if this is really a good deal or if it is something that you even need. As well as being better for the environment this is better for your bank balance.
Buy Second hand – When you buy second hand you are giving something a new lease of life and preventing things going to landfill unnecessarily – whether you have a look for second hand clothes in a charity shop, or buy recycled tech like these refurbished laptops www.refurbishedlaptops.co.uk/ buying second hand is a great way to help the planet.
Buy Local Produce – Buying products that are sourced locally means that they haven’t travelled as far to be with you, so you are cutting down on the transport, and also it means that you are helping the local economy. Find independent shops and visit local markets where you can find an array of local produce.
