How To Have An Eco-Friendly Christmas This December: A Guide

Christmas is coming up, and if you're planning a party with family or friends, whether a big or an intimate one, you might feel stressed about keeping everything aligned with your environmental values while organizing it. If you're having trouble figuring out how to organize an eco-friendly Christmas party, check out these ideas to get your party started right.

1. Rent Your Christmas tree

Renting a real Christmas tree is one of the most sustainable ways you can celebrate this holiday season. You can return the tree once the celebrations are over and they can be replanted. This way, you will generate no waste and have a truly green Christmas! Also, if you buy one, make sure it is grown locally and dump it with other green wastes that will be beneficial for our mama Earth!

2. Use Recycled Papers or Fabrics to Wrap Your Gifts

Statistics say that more than half of the people re-use last year’s wrapping paper but what they don’t know is that these are mostly made of non-recyclable elements such as glitter or foil or plastic. Instead, you can try recycled fabrics or wrapping clothes to send precious gifts to your loved ones. 

Tip: Try the simple scrunch test to find out if your paper is recycled or not. Scrunch up your wrapping paper and then let go. If it remains scrunched up then it probably can be recycled but if it unfolds on its own, then it is most likely made from non-recyclable elements.

3. Use Eco-friendly Crackers

You may opt for reusable crackers instead of single-use ones. Many are made from natural linen and some even permit you to add your personal touch. These are, beyond doubt, one of the great ways to celebrate an environment-friendly Christmas this year or in the coming years.

4. Sustainable Christmas Party Menu

Food is the raison d'être of most Christmas parties but what if we said that you could make it better? Yes, you heard right! One way is by buying from brilliant, small-scale local and ethical producers. This ensures that there are no transport-related emissions as well as pumps much-needed funds into the local economy. Remember to carry your reusable grocery bags. 

Also, you can buy less and use leftovers to create delicious and healthy items for your guests. This will lower the amount of food waste generated which is responsible for nearly 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

6. Eco-friendly Christmas Decorations

One great way to make your Christmas celebrations sustainable and ethical is by using family heirlooms or items that have been gifted to you by near and dear ones over the years. But, you can also source them ethically from local producers or pick them up on your commute from work; a homemade wreath of greens and foliage is one such example.

This festive season, you can all make a great difference to our planet by adopting ways in making Christmas eco-friendly and sustainable. And Chalo Green Products hopes to be a part of your sustainable journey.
