Food shopping tips
From TipThePlanet
- Buy Seasonal food and Local food! See also Fair trade tips.
- Buy from local farms shops or farmer's markets www.farmshopping.net
- When asked "paper or plastic?" at the grocery store, opt for plastic. Plastic bags require less energy to produce, generate less pollution. But it takes hundreds of years for plastic bags to decompose, and errant bags injure or kill marine wildlife, so it's far far better to take reusable bags with you.
