HAVE YOURSELF AN ECO-FRIENDLY CHRISTMAS

If you have people in your life who haven’t made the easy and obvious choices to go green yet, It is the perfect time to gift them that reusable water bottle or fabric laptop case.

A few people making small changes makes some difference. Many people making small changes can actually change the world!

1 CHOOSE A LIVE TREE

Especially when you have space. And it doesn’t need to be a big one if you don’t.

2 GIFT WISELY

Think food, or gifts that can be used and actually last. Try gifting an experience.

3 DITCH THE WRAPPING OR AT LEAST USE RECYCLED PAPER

After all, it’s what inside that counts.

4 DON’T DECORATE WITH PLASTIC

Choose wooden, fabric or glass decorations that not only last longer but also look great.

5 CHOOSE ECARDS OVER PAPER CARDS

Understandably they don’t look or feel the same, but neither does mother earth!

6 AVOID DISPOSABLE PLATES AND CUTLERY

You’ll have to wash dishes on Christmas eve, but it’s a small price to pay for our planet.

7 SWITCH TO LED LIGHTS AND SOY CANDLES

You will be lighting your way to a greener future.

8 SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE

In the case of the environment, it really is. Do more for the environment by doing less. Less food waste, less plastic tinsels, less store-bought gifts… you get the idea!
