I love trying the latest food trends but what I don't love is their often unknown effects on the environment. About one-third of the world’s land is forests. Every year, this area decreases by an average of 13 million hectares, which corresponds to around 35 football fields per minute, mainly due to agriculture. So much of what we consume daily has effects that reach far beyond our bellies, but if we aren't aware of them, how can we do anything to help fix it? 

Wondering what to do with all of your Simply Smita Co jars, pouches and packaging that you're collecting? We've got a few ideas for you!

Now I'm not typically one for keeping up with trends, but when the trend is better for the environment, independent business owners, and communities as a whole, I will happily jump on the bandwagon! The shop local trend is growing so steadily that it's become a movement; one that I strongly suggest you join.
