My father, John beard, created the magazine The Big Issue, for ethical business models.
I want to do something associated with eco-community and the local shops, so create a bonus card for local shops in London.

Where to start?Start with something you are passionate about. For me, it's food — I used to be a chef. I shop locally because I want good local food at a good price, which operates according to the seasons, and I want to know where it comes from. Go to the market if he is near you — it's so much nicer than going to the supermarket. Similarly, if you love fashion, look that offer independent shops near you.

If you buy furniture, ask that the product is made from sustainable timber (forest recovering from deforestation).

Habit every geneticheski shopping important and very convenient. I'm busy, I have a business and a family, and like many other people, I just want my purchases were made by the most enjoyable way. Look around where you live or work — you don't have to go far to find these amazing local shops. I get all my fruits and vegetables after work from a man who has a stall opposite my office. Shop during the week, so shopping will not be a burden to you for the weekend. published
