Food
Reduce your food miles and avoid buying produce which has been air freighted to the UKHelp
Did you know: Per mile, air freighting releases 10 times more CO2 than goods transported by road and 50 times more than sea freighted goods. Reading the labels can help you to find out the country of origin of your food, and retailers can tell you how it was delivered to the store. This will help you make informed choices about the distance your food has travelled before it lands on your plate.

Campaign against airport expansionHelp
Did you know: Aviation has the fastest growing carbon emissions of any industry sector. Before booking a flight consider whether there is a viable alternative - such as a coach, train or ferry - or even take holidays closer to home. Cutting down on one long-haul flight a year could reduce your transport footprint by 24%. It is now becoming clearer that flying has an even greater impact on climate change than previously thought as it is likely that emissions of greenhouse gases at high altitudes have between 2 and 4 times more impact on climate change than at ground level

Choose cardboard coffinsHelp
Did you know: Traditional coffins can include eco-unfriendly components like chipboards, staples or plastic so why not opt for a cardboard coffin and continue to tread a little lighter on the planet after you have gone!
