Products, services & advice promoting smart thinking for sustainable living

Many people are increasingly interested in living more sustainably – balancing their impact on their environment with their quality of life – all without spending the earth! At Choose the Alternative, they believe that getting the balance right can mean that sustainable living can save you time, effort and money.



Smart thinking is knowing what products are available, where they come from, how they get here, and where they go once we’re done with them. In short, it’s about:

• Knowing how our purchasing choices can positively contribute to sustainable living

• Understanding where options can also contribute to savings in money, time and effort, if these are priorities

• Balancing buying decisions so that they are right for us and contribute to sustainable living.



At Choose the Alternative, they take the hassle out of making purchasing decisions by only selecting products that meet one or more of the sustainable living priorities: local, fairly-traded, ethical, environmentally-friendly, natural, minimal packaging, minimal end of use / life impact, recyclability.

Choose the Alternative promote bulk buying for yourself or in local groups if they can help you find one, as well as offering refill services which cut down on end waste & save you money.



They also offer services & advice on how smart thinking can help you live a more sustainable life, not just in terms of the products you buy, but the habits you can change with minimal effort for maximum impact.
