The holiday season is a time of joy and togetherness, but it also leads to increased waste and environmental impact. This year, let’s embrace sustainable choices that make a difference while keeping the festive spirit alive.
5 easy ways to make your holidays more eco-friendly
🎁 Wrap smart
Ditch traditional wrapping paper and opt for reusable alternatives like fabric wraps (furoshiki), newspaper, or recycled kraft paper. Add a natural touch with twine, dried flowers, or pinecones.
🌟 Choose compostable decorations
Decorate sustainably with natural materials such as dried oranges, pinecones, and handmade paper snowflakes. These options are not only festive but also biodegradable!
♻️ Recycle right
Be mindful when disposing of holiday packaging, boxes, and wrapping materials. Avoid using plastic ribbons and glitter, as they can contaminate recycling streams.
🛍️ Gift sustainably
Consider experiential gifts, upcycled products, or items made from recycled and bioplastic materials. Opt for zero-waste gift wrapping for an added sustainability boost!
🍽️ Reduce food waste
Plan meals carefully to minimize waste and compost leftovers whenever possible. Get creative with surplus food by turning it into delicious next-day recipes.
Give the gift of sustainability
Small changes can have a big impact on the environment. By making mindful choices, we can reduce waste and celebrate the holidays in an eco-conscious way.
