It is amazing how when an issue is raised by the media how often we, the average Joes, view it as a marketing ploy. Most of the time we think the issue has been blown out of proportion and therefore pay little attention to it.  It is only when the issue that was raised is at one’s own doorstep that you really take notice. Sad, but very true! 

As fruit buyers, we at Fruitful Office have noticed the shortage of bananas experienced at London produce markets. This, however, has been an international shortage and not just a shortage in the UK. This shortage has impacted banana prices worldwide and has not been good news for banana buyers. All of this due to poor weather conditions in banana growing countries: excessive rain, high winds and massive tropical storms. The adverse weather conditions have one main contributor - global warming. This has forced me to more closely reconsider my own carbon foot print, embarrassed that I am only seriously doing this now when I am seeing the effects for myself.

Fruitful office has a proud record of being environmentally friendly and sensitive in all our activities. Despite this, the environmental crusade continues for the battle is still far from won. The more we are taking part in this crusade the sooner weather patterns will return to normal. Every individual has a responsibility and the time to act is now. Do not wait until the problem is at your doorstep, be proactive and check your carbon footprint today!

Have a Fruitful week!
