Beyond the plate

What’s on your plate is a huge factor to consider when it comes to making more planet-friendly decisions – but of course, it’s not the whole story. Read up on some other areas to consider.

Choosing slow fashion

Fast fashion describes the business model in which clothing is produced in bulk cheaply and unsustainably, at a rate far greater than our need for new clothes.

Green transport

Choosing planet-friendly transport is a great way to lower your carbon footprint.

Reducing plastic use

Our awareness of the damaging effects of plastic consumption has gained traction in recent years.

Supporting wildlife

Numbers of many free-living species of animals in the UK and abroad are in massive decline, with many appearing on endangered lists.

Conserving water

A vegan diet is much less intensive in terms of water use than one which includes animal products, especially products taken from cows.
