This last week I have moved all of my food shopping to a local farm shop. It’s more expensive but this has made me think on what I actually need, cutting out crap that I’d buy cheap in supermarkets. Also highlighting the importance of using everything and avoiding waste. My money now supports local people and I know where what I consume is coming from. My meat is no longer wrapped in plastics and my milk is raw.
I have stopped using shower gels that are filled with all sorts of chemicals and sold in plastic bottles and now use only bar soap, made locally and from natural ingredients.
I have made preparations to start growing some of my own food, by no means becoming anywhere near being self-sufficient yet but developing skills and knowledge I know will be needed in the future.
And I have also helped 2 friends start making survival bags, everything you might need in worse case scenarios to keep in your car at all times.
We must always make an effort to improve our skills and knowledge, think hard on who we support and where our money is going, and help others make progress too.
