Christmas is a time of great joy but it can also lead to over-consumption
Here's how to cut back on unnecessary purchases (and help save the planet
in the process.
Get an eco-friendly tree
Having a Christmas tree at home has been a British tradition since the 1700s
and we fill our homes with around 8 million a year.But we know plastic trees
pollute the planet and cutting down a two-metre tree can produce up to 16 kg
of CO2 when it rots in landfill according to the Carbon Trust.But there is an
alternative.You can rent a tree from Eco-Elf who deliver it to your door,and
then collects it after Christmas to replant it in their UK forests.
Give gifts that make new memories
There's so much pressure to buy friends,family,colleagues,or neighbours a
gift at this time of year.But in fact around f42 million worth of Christmas
presents aren't wanted and end up in dustbins each year,which is not eco-
friendly.Chances are your loved ones would rather spend more time with you
than have more gifts.You could either book an experience together like a
cooking class or a boat trip;organise a nature treasure hunt or go bird
watching;or share a skill you have with them like fixing their bike.
