Christmas is a day for everyone, with gifts, decorations and good food. However, we can waste a lot on this particular day and with a little imagination we can have a lot of fun and build beautiful memories while respecting the planet.
In this article, we give you plenty of tricks to organise your day whilst having an eco-friendly Christmas.

It is difficult to celebrate Christmas without a Christmas tree! You can of course decorate your interior plants, walls or create an original tree with recycled materials.
If you opt for a Christmas tree, make sure it does not have a negative impact on the environment.
* Avoid trees covered with artificial snow which is usually made with chemicals.
* Re-use your artificial fir tree several years in a row, it’s not necessary to change them every 3 or so years like it is often done! These trees are usually manufactured with non recyclable materials at the other end of the world.
* If you prefer a natural tree, don’t forget to ask its origin. It’s preferable to buy one grown in the UK.
* If you want to buy a fir tree, why not buy one in a pot so that you can plant it again in your garden?
* Recycle your natural fir tree, quite a few places collect them to make them into compost.
