THE 12 SUSTAINABLE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS |
1. ECO-FRIENDLY WRAPPINGSwap glittery or plastic-coated wrapping paper destined for landfill, for trusty recyclable brown paper. Here’s the fun part, get crafty and decorate with handmade tags, colourful twine, and a sprig of holly for a Pinterest approved look. 2. CRAFTY DECORATIONSGet creative with your Christmas decorations. Deck the halls with pinecones collected on a winter walk, or dry slices of festive orange to adorn your tree.3. SUSTAINABLE GIFTSAt Caudalie, we are proud to reinforce our commitments to the planet through our eco-designed gift sets with recyclable packaging. Try the indulgent Vinosculpt Gift Set (RRP: £27), containing the must-have hand and body treats to restore, hydrate, and pamper your skin. 4. RENT A TREEChristmas trees are a staple of the festive season for many households, but millions end up in landfill every year. This year try renting your tree for the festive period instead. Simply borrow your tree from a local provider, enjoy it for the festive season, and then return it to be cared for until next year! 5. THE GIFT THAT GIVES BACKWhile Christmas is a time for presents, it is also a time to give back. Instead of a physical gift, why not make a donation in someone’s name to a charitable cause?

6. REUSABLE SHOPPING BAGSDon’t forget your reusable bags on your annual Christmas shopping trip!
7. SHOP LOCAL Shop for your Christmas produce locally to reduce the distance your food has to travel while supporting the local community and wildlife.
8. REDUCE FOOD WASTE It is estimated that the equivalent of 4 million Christmas dinners are wasted annually! Make sure to plan your festive menu ahead of time, get creative with your leftovers, and store your food properly in reusable containers to reduce waste.
9. GO DIGITAL Rather than sending traditional Christmas Cards, try sending your season’s greetings electronically to reduce paper waste.
10. SHOP SUSTAINABLE FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS DAY LOOK The environmental impacts of fast fashion are widespread, so why not shop second hand for your festive Christmas Day look this year? |
