THIS month is Organic September – the UK’s biggest celebration of all things organic.
Building on the success of the 2013 campaign, which saw a sales increase by nine per cent during September, this year’s theme is once again Small Changes, Big Difference.
Consumers are encouraged to make one small change to their shopping habits in order to make a big difference to sustainable food, animal welfare or the environment Changes could include switching to organic milk, eggs, apples, choosing an organic moisturiser or even buying an organic cotton t-shirt.
For example, if 20 families switched to organic milk, another cow will be free to range on clover rich organic pastures.
By telling the Soil Association what organic product they’ve bought this September, consumers could also be in with the chance of winning a year’s free supply of electricity from Good Energy, a 100% renewable electricity company, who are supporting this year’s campaign.
