This article will help you in your next food shopping choices to be more green. More and more, large supermarket chains such as Carrefour are deciding to value local products so it's up to us consumers to seize the opportunity to make a small change in our fridge. We're giving you the tips you need to know, so be prepared to take notes. 😉 這篇文章將幫助您在下一次購物選擇中變得更加友善環境。越來越多的大型連鎖超市,例如家樂福,決定重視本地產品,因此我們消費者應該抓住機會對我們的冰箱進行一些小改動。我們為您提供了可能對您有幫助的方法,因此請做好記筆記的準備。😉


  • Choose unprocessed products. 

The processing of products has a real environmental impact. Because of the standards imposed by many manufacturers, there is a lot of product waste and the packaging of products does not help. If you choose unprocessed products, you value the diversity of shapes of fruit and vegetables but also use no packaging. 
選擇未加工的產品。產品的加工會對環境產生真正的影響。因為很多廠家的標準,造成了大量的產品浪費,產品的包裝也無濟於事。如果您選擇未加工的產品,您會看重水果和蔬菜形狀的多樣性,但絕對不會是包裝。

  • Check the seasonality of products. 

I don't need to explain to you that eating strawberries in winter is not very ecological and on top of that these products are generally more expensive. To make things easier for you, you can access the product seasonality calendar by clicking here. 
檢查產品的季節性更不用多說明了。冬天吃草莓不是個明智的選擇,而且這些產品一般都比較貴。為了讓您更便利,您可以單擊此處訪問產品季節性蔬果



 
  • Buy from local farmer markets. 

This is one of the easiest ways to limit your impact as their products are usually from Taiwan, in season and have no packaging. We'd like to share with you a great initiative by Homemakers Union Consumers Co-op, advocating support for local agriculture and green living with products from local producers.

從當地農貿市場購買。這是限制影響的最簡單方法之一,因為他們的產品通常來自台灣,應季且沒有包裝。我們想與您分享家庭主婦聯盟消費者合作社的一項偉大倡議,倡導利用當地生產商的產品支持當地農業和綠色生活。有關該概念的更多信息,請訪問他們的網站。


  • Develop a radar for labels. 

Train yourself to recognise the different labels, local products, organic and/or fair trade products. If you have a choice, it's always better to choose well-designed products that respect the people involved and the environment. 
開發標籤雷達。訓練自己識別不同的標籤、本地產品、有機和/或公平貿易產品。如果您有選擇,最好選擇設計精良、尊重相關人員和環境的產品。
