Most of us like to think we're doing what we can to lessen our impact on the environment, but how green is your weekly shop?

Beyond the eco-swaps you’ve probably already made, here are some of the least eco-friendly grocery store items to steer clear of next time you're loading up your trolley, with minimal disruption to your routine.

F&P Nautilus. I've had this for a number of years now and it's been brilliant - but it does need new door springs, which you can get and fit pretty easily.

I've had this for a number of years now and it's been brilliant - but it does need new door springs, which you can get and fit pretty easily. And a new latch (the door still stays shut but not for a wash, you need a child-proof clasp or something to keep it shut when operating which I've been doing for some time). Apart from that it works perfectly and cleans really well. But we've just got a new one.

No traders please, a needy household only. I'm up 40 steps so you'll need two people, but it's not that heavy, maybe 50kg.

Cheers.
