Responsible Shopping

          ​You have already decided to take an interest in permaculture, probably thinking it is all about gardening,  but it is unlikely that you will be able to be entirely self-sufficient, so how do you shop for other products in a sustainable way?
I can give you some tips and advice on this very subject. A document is available for you to download via the link.
​It will provide some answers about changing your shopping habits, having an ethical stance on purchasing goods and how to reduce wastage.
In the document, I have written about:

• Buying locally – this helps reduce your carbon footprint
• Reusing bags – you don’t want to add to the landfill problem
• Avoiding disposable products and those with too much packaging
• Buying in bulk to save money
• Buying recycled and recyclable products.
• And, of course, buying only what you actually need!

Hopefully, my advice will be helpful to you.
