The Ethical Choice- Show Love: Buy Local, Shop Small

When you buy out-of-season produce, e.g. raspberries or strawberries in December, your eco-credentials become lower. The same applies to purchasing any food product that has been flown from outside your country or is wrapped in layers of (unnecessary) plastic. By shopping locally, and independently, (bakers, farm shops, green grocers…) it is less likely that the produce has travelled an unthinkable distance in order to get onto your plate. Not only does this support local farmers, but the produce will be wrapped in less (or even no) packaging and is fresher. The same applies to non-food goods and services.

This is just one positive, others include:

  • It is often possible to try before you buy!
  • It may be cheaper
  • Advice can be sought if required
  • It helps build your community, get social!
  • It support local businesses and entrepreneurs
  • Independent shops often sell unique and unusual products
  • It boosts the local economy

Product Review: Ocean Saver – Cleaning detergents

I picked up some Oceansaver Anti Bac and a reusable spray bottle from my local zero waste shop a few weeks ago, and it is sooooooo amazing and easy to use! This is my honest product review of Ocean Saver Cleaning detergents. If you’re interested in Eco Cleaning detergents, this review will be helpful. In this review, I’m particularly focused on Eco Cleaning detergents and my experience with them. So far I have only tried the Anti-Bac, with great results – others are to follow! In addition, my experience with Ocean Saver Cleaning detergents has been very positive in this product review.

Product Review: Cocoa Loco Chocolates

Cocoa Loco Dark Chocolate Ginger

Chocolate is one of the world’s favourite foods (it’s definitely mine!), so I was absolutely delighted when my friend, Sarah, treated me to some Cocoa Loco Dark Chocolate Ginger (OMG LOVE ginger!) from my local zero waste shop a few weeks back! In fact, trying Cocoa Loco chocolates for the first time was a real treat.

That was it…. I was hooked! Since then I have continued to treat myself to these when I have been into the shop…. and then the Dark Chocolate Mango…. mmmmm REALLY love this chocolate! By the way, chocolates from Cocoa Loco are available in so many delicious varieties to choose from.

There’s something to suit everyone with white chocolate, milk and dark options – the dark ones are suitable for vegans. Weigh of the World have also got a number of other flavours, including Chilli, Raspberry…. and bars! With so much choice, it’s easy to see why Cocoa Loco chocolates are loved by many.

Northwich’s new Eco Store “Weigh of the World”

I had waited with great anticipation for our new Eco Store, Weigh of the World, in Northwich to open. THIS was a game changer for me! Local, and brilliant!

They are a zero waste shop – this means that they provide customers with the ability to refill food and cleaning products into their own containers. This allows people to buy as little or as much as they want and reduce packaging. They also sell toiletries and other everyday items that can be reused. As a result, they help people move away from single-use, throwaway items. Most important to me is their commitment to being there for people who have dramatically changed their lifestyles towards zero waste. More so, they are there for the people who just want to make small changes. Everyone has their own path!
