food and drink
This is one of the few things that we can say everyone needs to do, and if we're lucky, we get to do it several times a day. Which means that by doing it right, you can very very quickly make a very very big impact. Think of it this way - one week equals seven breakfasts, seven lunches, seven tea-times (we're speaking modified Lancashire, here ). So that can be twenty one mass-produced, over-processed, over-transported, over-packaged, under-nourished meals; or twenty one good for your belly, good for your mind, and good for your land, alternatives, with the money going to local farmers and people you know, less packaging going into our landfill or incinerators (eek), and if you make it with mates, a whole heap of the good stuff (have a quick peek at our bit on "com-pane". Sort of makes sense.) Even if you had one meal every week that was good, proper, local food, that adds up to 52 a year. Each. See where we're going with this?
