While you go to market to buy your food ingredients, look for the ones which have been produced within an organic environment, that is, without the use of any chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides. The naturally grown food is not only much healthier than the one which have been grown by using chemicals, but it is also environmental friendly as the use of fertilizers and pesticides can pollute the air, land and water, all at once.

The recent methods of hunting the fish are not only harming the fish population but also causing an adverse effect on the environment as well as your health. Though fishes are very healthy to consume and rich in protein content, not all of them serve the purpose. Thus, keep a firm check on the type of fish that you are buying. Avoid shellfish and farmed fishes, instead go for a local fish feast, that is, the fishes which are caught and raised in the local area.

Not only the quality of the product you are grabbing matters, but also the means through which it has been acquired make a huge difference to the environment. Always look for a โ€˜fair tradeโ€™ organisation label on your items as it implies that the product that you are consuming has been nurtured in a very healthy environment and the farmers who have grown it are getting their fair share of income by its same.

Whenever you go in the market to buy your food products, try and purchase in bulk as much as possible. Also, restrain yourself from collecting the items in different bags or containers. Instead, use one big bag which is made of the environmental friendly material. Avoid the use of plastic bags and try to reuse the bags in which you have brought the items home.
