It would seem that sustainability and Christmas are antagonistic due to the consumerist ostentation with which Christmas has been promoted for some time now. However, at Sunset Green World we suggest that we start to reinvent it and contribute to avoiding climate change. Here are some tips that will help you have a greener Christmas:
- Avoid buying wrapping paper, its use is ephemeral and quickly ends up in the trash.
- Buy gifts in local stores that sell sustainable and ecological products.
- Avoid fireworks, they are annoying for animals and harmful for the planet.
- Let your ingenuity fly, recycle products to make Christmas decorations.
- The production process of an artificial Christmas tree pollutes more than cutting down a natural tree, as long as you buy it from regulated producers or distribution centers.
- Decorating with candles beautifies the environment and pollutes less, remember to turn them off if you will not be watching them.
- Avoid using disposable plates, cutlery and bottles, always preferring to use biodegradable or ceramic plates.
- Separate the waste from dinner and find out where the recycling centres are in your city.
