So, you have got all your gifts and you know what you are doing for dinner, but have you considered what happens after the celebrations. To ensure you are having a green Christmas, you can plan to reduce your waste.
Firstly, ensure you are not over-catering for the Christmas lunch/dinner. With a little planning, you can ensure there is not too much leftover. Remember the leftovers don’t have to go to waste. There are many meals that can be made from turkey or ham. Vegetables can be thrown into casseroles or stews. Bread or crackers can make great breadcrumbs, which can be frozen. Just ensure that all leftovers go into the fridge, once the meal is over and consume within three days if not going to the freezer.
Also, if planning to use disposables avoid plastic. Instead get biodegradable dinner-sets (example our EcoSouLife dinner-sets). There many tyoes made from husk, palm leaf or cornstarch. A better option, that still fulfils your needs, but is nicer to the environment.
Do some Christmas shopping for someone who needs a helping hand.
Celebrate being green at Christmas,
