What actions can I take in my home to make it more organic?

Melissa Kidd (Soil Association Information Officer) gives expert video advice on: Is eating organic better for the environment? and more...

There are lots of things that you can do to make your home more organic. The first is to buy organic food and there are lots of different ways that you can do this, but we would recommend the best way of doing this is to order a local vegetable box where you get it delivered to your house. You can have all sorts of different types of vegetables that you might not have ever even seen before. Some of them come with recipe ideas so it's a very sort of creative process, lots of people really get on well with them, and it saves people money as well. Also, you could compost by saving your peelings and your fruit skins and things like that and keep them in a compost bin. You can stack that for a while in your garden and that turns into fertiliser for your garden. That's a good thing to do. Just think about reducing the waste. Do you need to take a carrier bag to the shop or haven't you got a billion already? Try to save and recycle things so that you don't have to continually buy plastic and things like that.
