Ethical Farming and Gardening

​

Permablitz is an incredible movement bringing sustainable gardens and permaculture into suburban areas - the London group can be found online: http://www.permablitzlondon.com/

​

Biodynamic farming and gardening which recognises the spirit in nature is based on Rudolf Steiner's philosophies, for more information please visit: 

https://www.biodynamics.com/

​

Set up an 'ark' in your garden where half of the garden is given back to nature using a sign so that people are aware that it's not just an unkempt garden, but is an active step in regeneration for the planet.  Other steps include no longer mowing your lawn.  For more information: http://wearetheark.org

Sustainable Living

​

World Land Trust - it's a great way to offset your carbon footprint for any flights or travel you may have made - this organisation is very good, they can calculate your carbon footprint and accept donations for their projects of land purchase and reforestation. Its patrons include David Attenborough and Chris Packham: www.worldlandtrust.org/carbon-calculator

​

Food waste puts enormous strains on the planet - it is believed that around one third of our food is binned or lost:

https://friendsoftheearth.uk/food-waste 

 

Find applications which help you to share food that you can't eat such as Olio. 

 

Try wild food foraging - there are many books out there which can help you identify edible plants - more information can be found at Totally Wild UK: totallywilduk.co.uk/.

​

There are many great platforms out there which can help you travel in an eco-friendly way such as WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) which allows people to find places to garden across the world in exchange for food and shelter: https://wwoof.org.uk/ 

 

Work-away is another great initiative and includes a greater variety of placements including retreat centres and working with animals: https://www.workaway.info/ 

​

Reduce plastic consumption - use your own shopping bags and if you have the space and time to invest in glass jars there are many shops out there which allow you to buy lose food by bringing in your own sterilised containers such as Bulk Market: https://www.bulkmarket.uk/how-it-works

​

Veganism

 

Please see the documentary 'A Life on our Planet' with David Attenborough. “We must radically reduce the area we use to farm so that we can make space for returning wilderness. The quickest and most effective way to do this is for us to change our diet.”

​

'Land of Hope and Glory' documentary by Earthing Ed shows the full extent of the UK farming industry:
