Our tips for a sustainable Christmas

2 minutes reading time

We all want a peaceful Christmas. But let's be honest, despite our good intentions, it often turns into a festival of consumption. A lot is bought and unfortunately a lot is thrown away afterwards. To make the end of the year more conscious and sustainable, we have put together some ideas for you here for a mindful and sustainable Christmas. 

Sustainable enjoyment

For many people, traditional meat dishes are as much a part of Christmas as presents, the Christmas tree and, of course, Santa Claus. We have put together a selection of delicious Christmas recipes for you to enjoy more sustainably. To the recipes

Sustainable decorating

Pine cones, twigs, moss and berry bushes decorate our forests and gardens during the Christmas and Advent season. Why not decorate our homes with them too? You can do without unnecessary plastic and take a leisurely walk in the woods to collect beautiful natural materials and relax. An absolute win-win situation.

Sustainable giving

Every year before Christmas, the question arises: what do you give your loved ones? Our tip for sustainable giving: donations to charitable organizations, gifts made from sustainable materials or time for shared experiences. Here is a list of our favorites:

- Donations to charitable foundations 
- Shared experiences
- Vegan cooking course
- Our merch articles, shirts and hoodies
- Reusable drinking bottles and storage containers
- Sponsorships for animals
- Oilcloths for covering food
- Self-sewn cushion made from old T-shirts 
- Homemade bath balls or soaps

 

    Sustainable packaging

    And every year the creative wrapping paper chaos greets us - paper, glitter and tinsel are everywhere. Lovingly and beautifully wrapped presents under the Christmas tree are an absolute must. Instead of having to buy new wrapping paper, you can use sustainable materials here too.
    You can create beautiful packages using recycled wrapping paper, saved from last year, old paper, paper you have painted yourself, beautiful textile remnants, pretty jam jars or perhaps even reusable tin cans.

     

    There are no limits to your imagination and there are many other ways to make the festive season more sustainable and fair. 

    We wish you a wonderful festive season!
