There's two things you can do to change the way you shop that will help Leith.

Get Regular Purchases Delivered To Your Door

Firstly, you can reduce the amount of trips you need to make by getting more of your shopping delivered to your home, or workplace. One of the main reasons Leithers say they need a car is to do the 'big weekly shop'. Most people find the 'Big Weekly Shop' an unpleasant boring task. Why not see if you can avoid it altogether by getting more of your regular staples delivered to your door each week?

Whilst most major supermarkets offer a home delivery service, there are a number of local organic suppliers that will deliver to you on a one off basis or as part of a regular 'box scheme'. Eating organic food is one of the best ways you can cut the carbon footprint of your food too.
