At the shops

1 make bags of difference

the majority of plastic carrier bags given away by shops end up in landfill sites. Do your bit by refusing or reusing and buying Bags for Life.
2 green is the new black

‘ethical fashion' is no longer a contradiction in terms - and it's going mainstream. Look out for ethical clothing lines in your favourite shops.
3 ripe for the picking

choosing fruit and veg in season cuts down on food miles and is better for you as it's fresher and nutritionally richer.
4 stay local

shopping locally supports your high street and helps the environment. It would take 60 greengrocers to match the CO₂ emissions from one average superstore.
5 fair's fair

make sure producers get a fair deal. Look for the FAIRTRADE logo on products that have been produced in the developing world.
