- Next time you can't find what you want when you go shopping, speak to the manager or contact them by phone/email. If enough people ask for greener products - whether it's locally-grown apples, recycled toilet paper, energy-saving lightbulbs or cosmetics without harmful chemicals - it's in the retailer's interests to respond by supplying what customers ask for - Friends of the Earth
- Eating locally-produced, fresh, seasonal food is good for you and the environment. Cutting the number of miles your food has travelled and avoiding packaging reduces pollution and waste. Plus the farmer gets a better profit if you buy direct rather than buying via the supermarket. Find out about your local farmers' markets, farm shops and pick-your-own farms
