Gift wrapping: be creative
When using paper, make sure it’s FSC certified. But better yet, reuse, use alternatives, or find your own way to surprise your friends and family!
Feast on local products
What’s better than enjoying good food in good company? Meat and fish? Well, you know what’s best. Whatever you eat, you could try to buy local and seasonal food. This way you’ll save a lot of CO2!
No Christmas without lights
True! Let’s all try to use LED and don’t forget to switch off your lights at night. It’s more safe, and who needs lights at night?
Less choppin’, greener shoppin’
Who doesn’t love a nice Christmas tree? That’s why in Holland alone, 2,5 million christmas trees are axed, sold, and thrown out every year. Potted trees can be reused, check if your tree is FSC certified. In a lot of places you can even rent one and have it replanted come January.
Alternatives for plastic christmas decorations
Plastic and PVC Christmas decorations are non-recyclable. Why not pick decorations made of wood, glass or fabric? If you go for timeless designs, you can enjoy your family’s pieces every Christmas.
