4 – Buy regional and seasonal food products
Ge-consomme.ch provides access to the directory of local and seasonal good eating. Are recorded near 150 addresses grocery stores in town and online, markets in town and on the farm, bakeries and butchers in town, producers and distributors of local and/or artisanal drinks, baskets from local contract farming, caterers promoting regional products.
Repairing your objects locally, renting them or buying them second-hand avoids the social and environmental impact of manufacturing a new object. Eating regional and seasonal foods reduces greenhouse gases linked to transport, industrial production and the use of pesticides. By opting for these practices, we also help support the local economy and maintain jobs while preserving quality working conditions.
