Sustainability Action Plan

about this principle

The Challenge

Food accounts for around 28% of our eco-footprint but it's easy to reduce this impact and be healthier too. The ecological footprint is so high because we waste around a third of the food we buy, because most people in the UK have a high meat and dairy diet, because of transportation (food miles) and because of energy intensive agriculture.

Aim

Supporting local shops, and buying local, seasonal and organic produce, with reduced amount of packaging, eating less meat and dairy; the aim is to help minimise food-related carbon dioxide emissions and make us healthier too.
