Iwas just wondering if we could have a section or even just a sticky on peoples tips and recomended buys for all things environmentaly friendly.
After my last years study in animal rights and envionmental ethics along with a number of current TV programs, I have really had my eyes opened to a numer of ussues like climate change and animal testing etc and have decided to make a lot of life changes. Whilst I have never been a particularly wastefull person I do feel that I could do a lot more to help. As I feel this would benefit both myself and my family in eating better quality food and exposure to less chemicals, and obviously do more to help our environment, animals and areas of poverty etc.
Thing is there is so much stuff you can get/do and its hard to know whats any good and whats a waste of time/money and what things would really help the most. So I would love ideas and suggestions from people along with any recomendations of good products or ethical shops etc.
Ideally I want to buy all organic produce from now on. as Ihave a lot more understanding now of how fertilisers distroy the environment, as well as the obvious health benefits. I also will make my own compost and as I only have a small garden now I will grow my own herbs.
I want to buy enviromentally friendly household cleaners and toiletries from now on. But dont really know what ones are any good.
I want to find ways of being more energy efficient arond the home, although dont really know where to start here either, but I want to reduce our carbon footprint.
And any other thing Ifeel I can do along the way.
So if anyone has any tips or product recomendations and stuff I would love to hear!
