Footprint Media Group's first-ever Footprint Awards allows sustainable-conscious people to support green initiatives and responsible food sourcing in their local hotels and restaurants.

You can nominate an establishment that you believe is adopting sustainable practices whilst still offering a top quality consumer experience. It could be your local pub, favourite restaurant or much-loved hotel.

Eating out' is the UK's fifth largest consumer spend so keep an eye open for menus which feature locally-sourced products and have accreditation marks on their menu  so you can do your bit for the environment even when you're not the one doing the cooking.
