From Old Trafford to new beginnings

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

Fast cars, flashy jewellery, expensive clothing maybe, but being environmentally friendly is not the first thing that springs to mind when you think Premier League footballer. But one man who played at Manchester United alongside Ronaldo, Rooney and Giggs, is trying to prove otherwise. Richard Eckersley is the owner of "Earth Food Love" a shop in Devon in the South West of England that is trying to become Britain's only zero waste supermarket. That means none of its 200 products comes with any packaging. So don't forget to bring your own bags, bottles and bowls if you want to buy anything!
