How does shopping help?

The greater the demand for environmentally responsible consumer goods, the more will become available and the better the price and variety of such goods will be as companies battle to win your custom.

Consumer power is the most powerful force in the modern world as brands and businesses fight for consumer attention and loyalty. By choosing to buy brands that have made a commitment to reducing their CO2 emissions and tackling climate change, you will encourage more and more companies to address their environmental responsibilities.

All of the organisations and companies Climate Change Now works with will be at differing stages of a conversion to environmental responsibility. However, all of them will have made a commitment to tackling climate change.

CO2 reductions can be made during production, distribution and consumption, through sustainable farming methods, local sourcing, responsible packaging and packaging reduction, energy efficiencies in production, use of renewable energy, waste reduction, recycling and improved recyclability, re-localisation of production and consumption and once CO2 reductions and efficiencies have been applied, offsetting remaining emissions.
