  1. Shop locally -

    Anyone living in Devon might like to give Own Online (http://ownonline.co.uk) a go – Devon-based delivery service, doing food, drink, and bathroom/kitchen stuff (inc. Bio-D, Ecover, and the very lovely Faith in Nature). They have a definite local, fair-trade and organic interest – lots of west country products – and their packaging is pretty much minimal, with brown paper bags for vegetables when needed etc. Particularly impressed with them because they bring things in large (fox-proof!) boxes, rather than plastic bags, and are happy to leave things wherever you choose (in the garden, for example). Also full marks for their delivery options (cheaper than Tesco/Sainsbury’s) – you can choose a slot when they’re already in your area, thus minimising the carbon footprint of their business and your shopping!

  2. Shop Small (Buy local, Switch from the Supermarket) -

    For anyone living in East Devon, there is a very good wholefood shop in Ottery St. Mary – they do refills of Ecover products, and a really rather impressive range of nice things to eat.

    Also, there is a very good butchers in Exeter, on Magdalene Road – Pipers Farm (http://www.pipersfarm.com/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=index). Quite pricey, but good if you fancy a treat.
