Here is the start of a list of suppliers of sustainable and local food recommended by members of the Climate Action group. If you know of anywhere else please get in touch.
Many of these suppliers welcome you taking your own containers to reduce the number of plastic and paper bags used.
Several members of the group have found the book ‘How bad are bananas?‘ by Mike Berners-Lee useful in deciding what to buy. Read a review of the book written by Simon.
