Number 3: Join Ecomonkey. Go organic, but do it gradually. Check our green tags.

Now it is often said that we behave as if there is no penalty for our luxurious consumption ... but organic, locally sourced, home grown can be just that.

Ecomonkey is not about mouldy old carrots, though we think ugly veg is often rather good (go to any continental market for a display). Chose wisely and shopping here should not cost the earth.

Everything gets a green rating at ecomonkey, so going green is not so hard. Green points are awarded every time you make a purchase, more points the further you are prepared to go, whatever your shade of green.

A blend of familiar mainstream shops and some unusual ones too, from green to not so green - so you can chose.

Collect enough points and you can claim iTunes vouchers, Amazon gift certificates, donate to charity or buy yourself a carbon credit or 2 from Climate Care.

ECOMONKEY IS CURRENTLY FREE TO JOIN.
