 Shoppers should boycott companies who fail to go green, says minister image wallpaper

SHOPPERS should be prepared to boycott firms who fail to go green, a minister has said.

New International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan urged people to vote with their wallets to create a greener planet.

Ms Trevelyan also piled pressure on nations dependent on Chinese investment to pressure it into speeding up being more environmentally-friendly.

She said Britain must show "moral leadership" after two centuries of polluting the globe.

And she heaped praise on The Sun's Green Team campaign for ins­piring the public.

In her first major intervention on the world stage, Mrs Trevelyan said: "Little voices really do matter — and we're seeing a shift.

"We just need to keep pushing. Consumers can make a difference. They can say, 'I'm sorry, I don't like your products, and I'm not going to buy them'.

The more we spend our Pound in the way that's green, the more business will want the green Pound."

But her comments risk a backlash from industries facing National Insurance increases, supply chain chaos, and those struggling to bounce back from Covid.

Join The Sun's Green Team

THE Sun today encourages its army of readers to make at least one lifestyle change to slow the advance of climate change.

Everyone can get involved.

We've teamed up with the global campaign Count Us In to calculate how much carbon you will be saving by ditching old habits.

Remember even small changes help.

Find a step that's right for you and your family. Keep it up for at least two months and see how you do. It might become a habit.

When you're ready, try another step. All these will add to change. We'll get there together.

Visit thesun.co.uk/pledge and pledge to one or more lifestyle changes.

It could save you money and all of your actions will go toward a global goal of getting a billion people to make changes.

1.     Eat more plants – Going meat-free for a day brings the same carbon saving as not driving for a month.

2.     Cut food waste – The average UK family throws away £700 of food a year.

3.     Turn down heating – With energy prices rocketing this will save you money.

4.     Insulate your home – Stop heating the sky with heat escaping through your roof.

5.  Repair and re-use – We ditch the equivalent of 250 t-shirts a year.

6.  Walk or cycle one extra journey a day – petrol cars emit twice as much pollution in their first five minutes of use, so even short journeys add to climate change.
