Are you looking to live more sustainably? We’ll post some easy ways to help you do it.
Life gets so busy at this time of year and so full of ‘stuff’ that will be regifted or end up in the bin! Is there a way you can simplify what you do to be less busy and reduce the amount of ‘stuff’ you buy?
Many charities have lovely cards that give a meaningful gift which supports fair trade businesses for example.
Think about food planning — do you really need to have a choice of five puddings on Christmas day…? Get your family on board by explaining what you are trying to do (ok, you’ll have limited success with presents for a four-year-old, but you can only do your best!).
Remember to go easy on yourself, Christmas doesn’t have to be busy or full of ‘stuff’ to be special.
