@tescofood still has a long way to go with their plastic reductions, but this is a great step forward and will remove around 350 tonnes per year of #PointlessPlastic from their business operations 💚🌍

#LFDChristmas Day 12:
It's easy to get carried away in the shops this Christmas but be a #SavyShopper and don’t buy more than your family needs… #LoveFooodHateWaste
Any leftovers? Sprout competitions are a great alternative to charades

Reposted from @natgeoasia - Em here again as part of the @ecowithem_ takeover - celebrating all things plastic-free and Christmassy!

This time let’s tackle wrapping paper. Not many people realise that because it’s a mish mash of so many non-paper materials like foil, glitter (plastic) and laminate (plasticky stuff!) that it is unrecyclable. Whenever I see the feeding frenzy that is Christmas morning this makes me shudder. Plus the sticky tape, ribbons and cellophane. We can do this differently. We need to! So this Christmas why not get creative with your wrapping! What have you tried from this list? Do you have anything to add to it?! Drive the change. Take your pledge. #IChoosePlanet #PlanetorPlastic

Reposted from @loveyourfootprints - The Washi tape sticks! This is our recyclable Christmas tape ♻️ I love the cute gingerbread design and it goes well with our brown wrapping paper. Remember sellotape isn’t recyclable! The washi tape is only £1. Check out our Christmas wrapping paper blog for more information! This wrapping paper i picked up from mobile zero waste shop @ourplanetzerowaste 💚 #itsgoodtobegreen #sustainablechristmas #plasticfree #plasticfreechristmas #sustainableliving #ethicallymade #ecoproducts #ecofriendly #ecochristmas #plasticfreewrappingpaper - #regrann

#LFDChristmas Day 6 :

Reposted from @hellohubbub - The Christmas jumper is one of the worst examples of fast fashion with two out of five Christmas jumpers only being worn once over the festive period 😳. •
We don’t want to ‘pull the wool over our eyes’ and ignore the facts, but we also never want to miss out on the festive fun ⛄️🎄
•
Avoid this fast fashion fopaux with our four festive tips for a sustainable Christmas jumper day 🎅💫
1) Check what you already own 🤔
There are 65 million Christmas jumpers stashed away in wardrobes in the UK from previous years.

2) Swap with family and friends 👪
Have a Christmas jumper amnesty at work ahead of Christmas jumper day or swap with housemates to get a new look with minimal effort and no cost.

3) Make your own 👚🧶🧵
Click the link in our bio for our best sustainable Christmas jumper ideas, from DIY to preloved swaps

4) If you have to buy… buy second hand ♻️
top three places to find great festive knits are @depop @beyondretro (the vintage chain has over 1,500 Christmas jumpers online) and charity shops - #regrann

Reposted from @liveconscious_ - ECO-CHRISTMAS // you’re probably all sick of the sight of eco-friendly wrapping at this point 😂 but I wanted to share my tips anyway 🎁 did you know most wrapping paper is non-recyclable? It seems such a waste to wrap presents in material which will be ripped apart in a few seconds and then sent straight to landfill. Instead, why not use something you already have? You could: upcycle old gift bags, save tissue paper and reuse it, use @whogivesacraptp paper wrap, use a tote bag or some old newspaper 🌿 this year I used some saved brown paper that comes in most amazon packages and also some newspaper (which I found on the street!) 🎀 I decorated the gift with some off-cut cotton yarn that was leftover from making a macrame plant hanger (you can also use string) and some dry leaves from my backyard 🍁 I also jumped on the dehydrated orange bandwagon to add a bit of colour 🍊simply slice some orange and put in the oven on a low heat (~60 degrees) for 1-2 hours. I added a drop of clove essential oil to the orange once it was dry to give it a Christmas scent 🌲 doesn’t this look so much nicer than plastic, glitter covered gifts?! #sustainablechristmas #yayforearth - #regrann
