Campaign to Protect Rural England

The Campaign to Protect Rural England is currently trying to raise awareness of the impact that the major supermarkets are having on our countryside and rural towns and villages. Eating local food can have a positive effect on the environment, as the food does not need to be transported long distances - also meaning it is fresher and tastier. They work hard to encourage the supermarkets to stock and promote local foods, as well as campaigning for a nationally recognised labelling system defining what "local" means. CPRE is a charity that relies on the general public for much of its funding. Although they have many victories under their belt, there are so many other battles they could fight and win to keep our countryside for our children and our grandchildren, and many generations to come.
