“The sheer volume of packaging means I avoid shopping in the supermarket whenever possible.

I’m lucky enough to have a great local fruit and veg store where you can pick everything yourself, so I take my own bag down there and fill it to avoid the enormous waste.

Companies such as Abel & Cole, Daylesford and Farm Drop that deliver packaging-free produce to your door are also great. Farm Drop even deliver by electric van.

Otherwise, you can use local suppliers and British produce with as little distance to travel as possible. It helps reduce pollution and your carbon footprint to get the food to you.”
