Here at Covent Garden Market we’re all about supporting local in every way possible! One of the easiest ways to do just that is to shop sustainably. Not only does it benefit the environment but also helps local farmers, artisans and businesses. So here are some tips to help you shop with a greener footprint! 🌱👣

1. Bring your own bags
   • A tote bag or other reusable shopping bag is the easiest way to reduce plastic waste! Plus we have some available here at the Market office.
2. Buy in season
   • Seasonal produce = local produce! Buying in season helps cut down on the emissions associated with transporting food long distances.
3. Buy in bulk
   • Purchasing in bulk is a great way to minimize packaging waste! Check out My Spice Thyme for great deals on bulk spices, baking essentials and more.
4. Reduce food waste
   • Plan your meals and shop with a list to avoid buying more than you need.
