Counting on … day 1.210

7th November 2023

Green Christian coined the nemonic LOAF ( locally , organise, animal friendly, fairly traded)  to help us make better choices when buying food. I was wondering if we need a similar nemonic for other purchasing choices.
For example SURE – 

Sustainably produced; 

 Useful (ie something we need rather than a gimmick);

the Rs – can it be  repaired, reused, and can it (finally) be recycled;  and 

Ethically produced by people earning the real living wage, where taxes are paid and exploitative advertising avoided. 

Make SURE before you buy!
