Have An Eco Christmas
Being good to the environment this Christmas will not
only be beneficial to the planet, it will also help your bank balance.
Think carefully of how you could change your festive routines to benefit
these two issues. Here are a few tips to help get you thinking:
-
If your Christmas gift shopping schedule consists of
many trips into your nearest town or city, consider reducing the
amount of time spent driving & consuming fuel. One simple
alternative would be to do the majority of your
Christmas shopping online.
-
Rather then sending out lots of traditional
Christmas cards, you could send a percentage of your cards as
electronic Christmas Cards. This is usually done via the e-card
retailers website and sent directly to the recipients email inbox.
-
Instead of buying plastic decorations, make them
yourself. There are many good resources and ideas for making
homemade decorations.
-
If you are using traditional Christmas fairy lights
in your home and on your tree, get rid of them and purchase some LED
lights. By doing this you will be cutting your Christmas lighting
energy consumption by around 80 - 90%.
