2. Eat fruit and vegetables that have been grown in the UK, or have a go at growing it yourself. Wherever possible buy your fruit and veg from local farmers markets.
3. Use your car less and cycle more if you manage that. Car sharing is another option if work is quite a distance away.
4. Make your home more energy efficient. You can find tools online to help you with this.
5. Buy less intensely farmed meat.
