Merry Christmas 2022: Celebrating Christmas Sustainably
To safeguard the environment and public health, we can live more sustainably. Especially around the holidays, it's critical to have a sustainable lifestyle that safeguards the planet.
Christmas is certainly the time for giving and celebrating. But the overwhelming amount of festive waste from food, paper, electronics, plastics and gift wrapping also makes it a critical time of year for our planet.
This year we decided to have a Christmas in harmony with the planet. We didn't spend a lot of money, nor did we exchange expensive gifts between the adults, we ate sustainable food bought locally, and there were only small exchanges of gifts between the little children that Christmas coincided with their birthday.
With a little imagination and ‘common sense’, we can all reduce the impact of the holiday season on the environment and have a happy, carbon-friendly Christmas.
Christmas dinners – 150 million miles worth of carbon emissions. Environmentalists argue Christmas to be the world’s greatest annual environmental disaster.
Our over excessive eating habits during Christmas cause the same carbon footprint as a single car travelling 6,000 times around the globe, according to a University of Manchester study. As a nation, we consume 80% more food over the Christmas season than during the rest of the year.
