How to become a conscious consumer

-

Here are some other suggestion­s to help you be the positive change the world needs today:

Take out packaged, processed foods and keep adding in local, fresh produce.

Source local, sustainabl­e cafes and restaurant­s to dine in.

Switch plastic containers and bottles out for glass.

Recycle as much as you can and start a compost bin.

Shop eco-friendly, cruelty-free beauty products and fashion lines.

Switch to chemical-free cleaning products.

Use reusable alternativ­es to items commonly thrown out after one use, such as nappies, plastic wrap, paper towels and batteries.

Source the majority of your grocery items and fresh produce from local farmer’s markets and shops.
