Make an impact today

Making a difference to the environment can always start at home. Every person has a carbon footprint that they can change. Through this page we want to give you lifestyle tips as well as everyday product alternatives to reduce your environmental impact. Harmonious to the quote "The single raindrop never feels responsible for the flood", if we all made at least one environmentally positive change to our individual lives, the results would be remarkable.

#5 Support the Bees

As pollinators, bees play a part in every aspect of the ecosystem. They support the growth of trees, flowers, and other plants. In the UK alone they are responsible for 39 commercial crops. If you see one on the ground, its likely from exhaustion.

Revive them by giving them a teaspoon mix of two parts granulated sugar and one part water. Buzzz!

#6 Local is better

Local food can be better for your health for a few reasons. To begin with, local foods often retain more nutrients. Local produce is allowed to ripen naturally, while food that travels long distances is often picked before it's ripe. Eating local food also reduces CO2 emissions by reducing food miles;

the distance food travels from farm to consumer.

#7 Ditch single-use Plastic

The number of petitions raised by the UK public to ban single-use plastic has increased significantly over the past few years. Switching to a reusable or more sustainable alternative reduces your personal environmental footprint. At the moment most single-use plastic ends up in landfill which ultimately costs the tax payer more money.
