6th December 2008

A practical post...

The average UK household spends £420 a year on food that could have been eaten but ends up being thrown away. I have no idea whether more at Christmas time.

What's more, producing, transporting and consuming food is responsible for nearly a third of individuals' contribution to climate change.

Making a few simple changes to the way you shop for food can save pounds on your shopping bill and slim down your carbon footprint. This weekend try to buy fruit and vegetables grown in the UK. Get into the habit of waiting for a food to be in season before you buy it.

This is timely in the current credit crisis, but also about God's justice being exercised by His Advent people...
