How to Shop Sustainably
SHOP LOCAL - DITCH SUPERMARKETS
Support nearby businesses and reduce carbon emissions from long-distance shipping. Local shopping keeps your money in the community and often comes with less packaging.
BULK BUY WITH NEIGHBOURS
Coordinate bulk purchases with friends or neighbours to minimise packaging waste and delivery trips. It’s a win-win for your wallet and the planet!
CHOOSE ECO-FRIENDLY BRANDS
Look for brands that prioritize sustainability, ethical production, and recyclable or compostable packaging. Certifications like Fair Trade, Organic, or B Corp are great indicators of planet-friendly practices.
PRIORITISE QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Invest in durable, high-quality products that last longer. This reduces the need to replace items frequently, saving resources and money in the long run.
REFILL, DON'T REBUY - LOOK OUT FOR STICKERS
Shop at refill stores where you can top up containers for cleaning products, toiletries, and pantry staples. This reduces single-use packaging and waste. Look out for this sticker in Bradford-on-Avon shops.
THINK BEFORE YOU BUY - RECYCLE, REUSE, REPURPOSE
Ask yourself: Do I really need this?
When possible, opt for second-hand, upcycled, or repurposed items. Shopping mindfully helps combat overconsumption and reduces waste.
