Sustainable Christmas Tips: Celebrate Mindfully

Make this Christmas season greener and reduce your environmental footprint with these simple, impactful tips.

🎁 Greener Gifting

• Choose experiences: Gift tickets, vouchers, or classes instead of physical items toreduce clutter and waste.
• Shop local: Support community businesses and reduce transport emissions.

• Wrap sustainably: Opt for reusable fabric wraps (furoshiki style), old newspapers, or brown paper. Avoid foil and glitter wraps which aren't recyclable.

   

🍽️ Waste-Free Feasting

• Plan portions: Only buy what you need to minimise food waste.
• Shop local and seasonal: Purchase fresh produce from nearby markets.
• Ditch disposables: Use reusable plates, cutlery, and cloth napkins for entertaining.

• Compost scraps: Recycle unavoidable food waste in a home compost or worm farm.

   

✨ Eco-Friendly Decor

• Sustainable trees: Choose a potted tree you can replant, or a real one from a local, managed plantation.
• LED lights: Switch to energy-efficient LED lights and use timers to save power.
• Decorate naturally: Craft decorations from pinecones, dried fruit, or garden greenery.

By making small changes, you can have a big impact this Christmas season!
