Did you know that the UK uses 100 million rolls of wrapping paper every Christmas 🎁 Sadly a lot of this cannot be recycled and therefore ends up in landfill - especially if it’s covered in sellotape or glitter! A great alternative is brown paper which is fully recyclable ... yay 🤗 And you can get creative with it like me last year with dried flowers and other bits from the garden. How are you planning to wrap gifts this Christmas?
6 ethical stores for Christmas shopping online - new blog post up now! Whether you’re looking for homemade gifts, ethical box sets or zero waste beauty you‘ll find all this (and more) 🌟 These lovely beeswax candles are from @edgeandcompany which sells products made by people living with disabilities, mental health conditions, homelessness and addiction. Their mission is to break the stigma associated with such conditions through ‘radical giving’ 🎁 Link in bio 🍃
Over the next few weeks I’ll be posting about all things sustainable at Christmas 🌟⛄️🎄 But I’d love to know what you want me to include! Are you after eco-friendly wrapping tips, plastic free gift guides or something else entirely? Whatever it is let me know so I can be sure to cover it all 🤗
1.2 billion metres of cling film is used in Britain every year. That’s enough to wrap around the world 30 times 😱 If you want to find an alternative why not try beeswax wraps - a reusable, plastic free solution to keeping your food fresh! You can either buy these or make your own like I did 🐝 Check out my latest post to find out how! Link in bio 🍃

With Black Friday around the corner now is a good time to start thinking about your impact in the run up to Christmas 🌟 Last year the UK alone spent £1.4 billion on Black Friday but while businesses are celebrating, our planet is suffering. Over consumption means that more waste is going to landfill than ever before. We all love a bargain (me included 🤭) but this weekend think about what you’re buying and what the impact of that purchase is. The world will thank you for it 🌍
