Green Living

Eco-shoppers reduce the amount of waste they produce by making environmentally conscious decisions when it comes to buying products.

Tips to Eco-shopping include:

• Buying products with minimal and/or recyclable packaging.
• Remembering to bring your green bags to the shops.
• Buying in bulk.

Shopping at places that allow you to purchase food and drink items in reusable containers (such as honey from a health food shop, dry goods from a bulk supplier or using a reusable cup to purchase take away hot beverages).

Using a reusable cup when buying hot beverages is not only great for the environment but can also save you money.

The cafes listed below offer a discount to customers who take their own cup to purchase hot beverages.
