A UK based team that promotes positive climate goals this holiday season has many tips to spruce up your holiday in a green way!
With three weeks until the end of the year, Clean Fairfax has three things to do for a delightful and sustainable holiday. Check out our tips below, it’s as easy as one-two-tree!
TIP ONE:
For all your local, green gifts, commit to reused and recycled wrappings. Did you know, a lot of holiday wrapping paper is coated with plastic that can’t be recycled!? To keep your green gifts green, utilize old holiday wrappings, recycled paper, or reusable fabrics when wrapping.
TIP TWO:
Make it the most wonderful time of year for wildlife. Put a bird feeder (hot tip!) or an insect hotel in your garden!
TIP T(H)REE:
Three cheers for plant based holiday meals that are scrumptious and environmentally friendly! Check out the last few farmers markets of 2021, such as Mt. Vernon (one left!) and Burke (two left!).
Bonus: up your green holiday game by not only decreasing your carbon footprint with a plant based meal, but also 1) saving leftovers in reusable containers and 2) composting scraps.
