Stimulate your local economies and shop from farmers markets. Not only is the produce fresher and tastier but it is also better for the environment. Most small farms use organic farming practices and selling at markets helps reduce food miles and waste and pollution from packaging. Are you looking to support a farmers market near you? The Australian Farmers Market Association has a helpful search engine to help you do just that!
Around 11 per cent of your energy bill is for lighting. Switching to LED lightbulbs and turning off the lights when you leave a room makes your home more energy efficient – because when you consume less power, you reduce the amount of pollution generated by power plants. This in turn directly helps the environment . #SwitchforNature #switchoff
