Only buying organic milk and cutting down on how much I drink (which should mean a positive environmental impact for no additional cost!)

Less meat

Avoiding wrapping

2025-05-02 10:09:47 UTC

I am going to be make sure I don't buy vegetables wrapped in plastic (e.g. broccoli) and buy the loose ones instead, and only buying bags of e.g. apples if the bag itself can be recycled.

Plant more native flower in my garden

2025-05-06 16:13:23 UTC

I have transformed my front garden from a typical lawn to a wild flower area and only mow once in late Autumn. I am now starting to add more native species to attract more insects (common vetch and bird foot trefoil showed up this spring from what I sawed last year!)

Loose vegetables

I take reusable bags to the supermarket for the vegetables/fruit so I don't buy pre-packaged.

Clothing

2025-05-15 11:51:13 UTC

I am learning to make my own clothes, so I don't need to buy any new, fast fashion, clothes. If I do buy any clothes I almost always shop at second hand stores, charity shops and at an online second hand retailer like ebay and vinted.
