Easy ways to make your Christmas more sustainable and eco-friendly, including recycling your tree, eating seasonly and choosing the right lights.
Save the planet this festive season. The Grinch was no angel, but he was right about one thing: we consume way too much at Christmas . It's estimated that the UK produces 30% more waste than usual over the festive season, which is hardly surprising given the amount of wrapping paper, unwanted presents, and leftover turkey that seem to dominate the big day.
Between the stress of cramming in last-minute Christmas shopping and the excitement of the numerous merry festivities, it's all too easy to let our standards slip when it comes to sustainability around this time of year. And before you know it, your fairy lights have taken over your electricity bills, you've splurged on a glittery dress, and you've scraped a mountain of unwanted leftovers into the bin.
