of the UK's carbon emissions are
created by individuals going about
their daily lives. So, your actions
really do matter...
GREEN YOUR ROUTINE
STOP FOOD WASTE
Landfill sites are reaching capacity and
space is running out to bury our evergrowing mountains of rubbish. Cooking
with others means you will plan your meals
carefully and only buy what you need.
EAT LESS MEAT
Studies suggest reducing your meat intake
can slash your risk of chronic illnesses such
as cancer and heart disease. Plus, the meat
industry generates nearly 20% of man-made
greenhouse gas emissions.
AIR-DRY YOUR HAIR
Cutting drying time by just five minutes a
day saves on carbon dioxide emissions each
year, which can help reverse global warming.
What does
being green
mean to you?
BUY FAIRWILD
The FairWild logo proves that any plants
used have been collected from the wild
sustainably, the benefits of harvesting have
been shared with everyone within the
supply chain and the wild ecosystems are
protected. Pukka Herbs offers 33 teas
which are certified FairWild - look out

'I like to think I'm quite
green in my approach to
life. I eat less meat than
I used to and I recycle. I
don't pick up products
with palm oil in them and
go for coconut oil based
products instead. I try to
eat a vegan diet Monday
to Friday, then let loose
on the weekend. I tend to
choose more fast fashion
on the high street over
ethical brands, though.
So that's an area I fail in.'
'To me, being green
means making sure
we all look after the
environment we live in.
I'd consider myself a very
green person but I do
have some limitations.
Recycling at home is a big
deal for my partner and I.
We also eat organic meat
and veg, and use reusable
cups. We've also cut down
on the plastic we use. We
both walk to work to keep
our carbon footprint low.'
'Although I drive to work,
I share my journey with
my dad and brother. I
recycle at home and
usually choose organic
ingredients such as eggs,
but they tend to be quite
expensive so it depends
on the price. I never really
think much about my
carbon footprint and I
don't buy ethical brands
because I don't know
enough about them. I go
to charity shops, though.'

Whether you're a devo-tea
of a builders' brew, matcha
green or coffee, it's time to
put your mettle to the kettle. We are a
nation of tea addicts, there's no denying
it. We glug down about 165 million cups
of tea a day, and 70 million cups of
coffee, yet two thirds of us boil far more
water than we need. Only boil what you
require - any extra and you're wasting
time, money and energy.
In fact, if everyone boiled only the
water they needed, we could save
enough electricity in a year to power the
UK's street lights for nearly seven months!
Pukka Herbs and Do Nation have joined
forces to launch the Tea Time Pledge,
urging people to only boil the water they
need. For the first 1,500 pledges made,
Pukka (pukkaherbs.com) will commit to
sending herb-growing kits to schools
with the Soil Association's Food for Life
programme to get families gardening this
summer. Visit foodforlife.org.uk and
