Non renewable and renewable

Non renewable resources are things with a finite amount so once they are all gone they wont comeback, in the past the amount of these resources has not been important but as the population increases and more resources are being used from dwindling use of renewable resources is increasing, to deal with the increasing used of these valuable resources manufacturers of packaging have come up with the 6 R’s to reduce the amount of recourses used. They are to reduce the amount of packaging used. To refuse extra packaging. To repair broken items, instead of buying new things. To recycle broken or used up things if it can not be repaired, and to rethink the way we live to respect the resources we have left.

Carbon footprint

Every where we drive every thing we produce even when we breathe we leave a carbon foot print, the more CO2 you produce the bigger you carbon footprint. Many material and product travel along way to the consumer and factories where the materials are made. This transporting increases the products carbon foot print. Because of this consumers should buy locally produced products like getting British meat.

Fair trade

Fair trade is normal more expensive but more of the money goes to the growers of the food, buying fair trade food you are supporting the local community in three ways, social development, economic development and environmental development.
