Love your local greengrocer

Since the start of Lent, I've been getting these little emails into my inbox. Which is a nice momentary diversion before I knuckle down to work and save the planet. They're all part of Tearfund's Carbon Fast and each day, there's one action that you can do to reduce your carbon footprint, and pray for climate justice for the world's poor.

Today's action is to reduce food miles by choosing to buy seasonal and local fruit and vegetables. You can check out what's in and what's not by going to http://www.lovebritishfood.co.uk/ . I've just checked and yes, celeriac is in season, which is good.

And of course...you know the deal... if you're buying exotic stuff, go for Fairtrade if you can.

Want to see more of these? Sign up to Carbon Fast emails here.
