Eat your way to a greener lifestyle
With more and more people making
the switch from plastic to glass milk bottles and opting for recyclable
alternatives, sustainable options are certainly on the up! But how about what
we put on our plates? There are lots of ways to eat more sustainably, from the
type of food we eat to where we get it from.
Read on for our top tips when it comes
to eating your way to a greener lifestyle…
Eat a variety of food
It’s easy to stick to the same old
faithful meals when you’re having a busy week – but with a little planning
ahead, choosing a more colourful, varied plate will help you avoid buying too
much of one thing. Why not take inspiration from our Greengrocer range?
Waste less
Around 33% of food produced
globally is wasted or lost each year. By meal-planning, batch cooking and
buying as and when you need, it’s easy to cut down on this. Have a read of the
blog we wrote last year for Stop Food Waste Day for more handy tips!
Buy locally!
It may be obvious, but buying local
cuts down on food miles and supports businesses near you. It’s easy-peasy with
our Best of Local
section – we’ve done the hard work for you! Some argue that online shopping also
helps to reduce carbon emissions by eliminating short car journeys – and since
many of our milk floats are electric, it’s a win-win!
Ready to get stuck in? Remember that we offer free delivery on all our orders, so you can add fresh, deliciously healthy produce to your basket whenever you need it.
