GREENER SHOPPING
 |
There are now lots of choices you can make when shopping that help take care of the environment.
Take a bag
Hang on to your shopping bags and take some with you when you next go to the supermarket.
Look for the labels
Use labels to choose products that have a lower impact on the environment. For example, energy efficient appliances and cars, and sustainable fish. Using labels to buy sustainable wood and peat free compost will protect important natural habitats that help balance climate change effects.
Buy recycled
Look out for recycled products. Recycled paper, kitchen rolls and toilet tissue are among the products now widely available.

This simply means put back into the environment some of what you've take out!
Each of our everyday actions consume energy and produce carbon dioxide emissions, e.g. taking holiday flights, driving our cars, heating or cooling our homes. Carbon Offsetting is a way of compensating for the emissions produced with an equivalent carbon dioxide saving.
Some sites enable you to simply buy credits to offset your carbon footprint. We on the other hand give you credits for any purchase through our site.
For each product on our site there is a simlpe carbon offset value.
This way, you can find the product you want at the best price and offset your carbon for free.
How Does it Work?
Every sale that is made though Greendeal.co.uk makes a small profit, thiis because we have refered the user (you) to the merchant (the online store).
We use a portion of this profit to pay for new broad-leaved trees to be planted in the Uk.
How can this help?
Each tree planted "offsets" the environmental impact by "breathing" in about 730 kg CO2 emissions over its lifetime.
Tees also provide sustainable habitat for wildlife and will enhance the natural landscape with native broad-leaved trees.
