There is a lot of info coming from all kind of news rooms, news papers, magazines and blogs about keeping your Christmas carbon footprint small. It is good to see so many people are aware of the extra impact on the environment during these festive days and they come with heaps of interesting tips.Like for example if you are one of the people who really enjoy having all these Christmas figures lightning up your house, do it only for a few hours and don't leave them on all night. Give eco presents and wrap them in reusable gift bags or be creative with other materials such as leaves and textiles. Don't buy all these plastic gadgets which you throw away the same day. Buy local produce for your Christmas lunch/dinner, take your own bags instead of adding more plastic to your kitchen drawers... and serve it on real plates, not on the plastic disposable ones.
Or if you really don't like doing the dishes afterwards, serve in the biodegradable ones. And have a look at this feature from Channel 31 on a green Christmas. It takes a bit of time to download, about 5 minutes, so be patient because about halfway is a nice feature on the design Christmas tree from Buro North.There are heaps of more tips, click on the links above.
