Food should be labelled with its country of origin. Choosing food from sources nearer to where you buy it reduces the carbon footprint of the food – the “food miles”. Ideally buy food which has been produced in your local area, then you are supporting your local community.

When you buy a pint in your local do you think about the environmental and ethical impacts of your choice?
Ethically:
-
who owns the company that makes the beer: do you want to buy products from them?
-
what is that company's policy towards small, local breweries, local pubs, and providing choice to customers?
