A NEW WAY TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

A GREENER CHRISTMAS

ECO MISTLETOE ABOVE OUR HEADS

Ideas in order to have an eco Christmas:

 Rent a Christmas tree: natural trees are much more sustainable than artificial ones;
however you must consider the option of renting a tree instead of cutting one. use
your fake fur for 20 years for it to be greener. That said, seven million real trees will be
dumped in January rather than recycled.
 Wrap gifts with recycled paper or fabric: many rolls contain non-recyclable elements
like foil, glitter or plastic. Opt instead for recycled wrapping paper. OR try wrapping
gifts with fabric instead, using colourful fabric squares that can be re-used again and
again.
 Send forest friendly or plantable Christmas cards: Although the majority of us don’t
write Christmas cards anymore, you can also use this opportunity to be a little bit
greener: Look for cards with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) mark. This
guarantees the paper has been produced sustainably and ethically. The Woodland
Trust shop is a great place to pick up a pack, the proceeds from which also support
Britain's woodlands. Recycle or compost your cards in January or turn them into
decorations for next year.
