Use only paper plates , paper napkins ,cups and plastic cutlery ..... , you save electricity & water for washing up .........then you recycle EVERYTHING including the leftover food in THE RIGHT BINS .
Presents don’t have to cost the earth, or harm it. Too often we buy our loved ones presents that get unused or even thrown out, especially when panic buying, if your unsure of what to gift people. Choose a gift that lasts, by giving something with purpose or meaning, that will hold more value with the recipient.
Making your own presents for people show that you have spent time and effort in creating something you think they’ll love. A great homemade gift is food, especially sweet treats! Cookies and Christmas? The perfect combo.
Also we recycle christmas cards into gift tags by cutting around the pictures with a pinking scissors.
Reduce your energy consumption by doubling up dishes in the weeks before Christmas. Streaming some veggies? Lightly steam sprouts at the same time and pop them into the freezer in a reusable container. Baking a cake? Bake your Christmas cake at the same time. Roasting a joint? Roast your turkey and pop it into the freezer.
