REDUCE YOUR ‘FOOD FOOTPRINT’

Organic, ethical and vegetarian foods help reduce the impact on the earth’s resources, people’s livelihoods and land use.  All the products at www.ethicallyessential.coop fall under these three banners and buying them really does make a difference.

Organic food is grown uses the earth’s resources naturally and carefully and helps maintain the eco balance by avoiding the use of pesticides, chemicals or other unnatural means.
Ethical food is cultivated by farmers and producers whose efforts are rewarded by fair pay. This is then reinvested into the food production and into their community thus bringing about positive changes to the workers and their families. 
Vegetarian food takes a lesser toll on the land and can produce a greater percentage of food per square foot than land occupied by livestock.  And the by-product of vegetables is better for the environment: plants give out much-needed oxygen while cows give out the damaging ‘green house gas’ methane.
