How to Shop Sustainably

Young Boy

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.

Friends Around Table

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!

Eci Friendly Store

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.

Fashion

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.

Thinking of Ideas

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.
