We are looking forward to spending quality time with family, friends and other loved ones, and coming to rest towards the end of the year. Being a big fan of the festive season myself, 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞.
1️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞: preferably grown nearby, without pesticides and bought at a point of sale within walking distance (might be challenging sometimes). For artificial trees: use them for as many years as possible.
2️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: preferably with LEDs, and efficient and needs-based, meaning to turn it off during absence and at night. Timers can help here.
3️⃣ 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠: Give preference to environmentally friendly product variants and - where possible - pay attention to demanding environmental labels. Second-hand products can be an attractive option as well. Wrap gifts in reusable boxes, bags, pouches, tissues or with previously used wrapping paper that you already have in your household.
4️⃣𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬: Christmas dinners are often very meat- or fish-heavy. While there is a lot of tradition with many of these meals, it can be worth it to try out something new, as there is lots of interesting vegetarian and vegan options as well. Feel free to reach out if you need some inspiration!
5️⃣𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠: Christmas time is travel time. If possible, use trains and buses to travel to relatives and friends or form carpools.
🔔To put it in a nutshell, there are many things one can do to make this heart warming time as little climate warming as possible. 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝, 𝐈 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭!
