Living in Sustainable Symbiosis

So just a quick post to start off this blog. 
My first major attempt at a more sustainable lifestyle is choosing to buy produce from local farmers. 
Why? 

1. It puts money back into the local community and not out into the pockets of large multi-national corporations (social and economic reasons)

2. It reduces food miles! Less carbon helps us on our way to reaching the UK's 80% carbon dioxide reductions by 2050 (environmental reasons) 

3. SURPRISE! If you buy from a proper local farmer and not the big brand 'box schemes' then it's at least £20 cheaper! I only spent £12 on this lovely set of vegetables ... and remember, I'm on a student budget and this is still affordable for me.
