Did you know that Australians generate a staggering $1 billion worth of unwanted gifts destined for landfill every Christmas? That’s a mountain of waste our planet simply can’t afford.
Together, we can make a difference this festive season. Here are some easy ways to celebrate Christmas sustainably and give with purpose:
🌟 Gift Thoughtfully:
Instead of buying something for the sake of it, think about what your loved ones truly value. Opt for gifts they’ll cherish or find useful.
🎁 Choose Sustainable Wrapping:
Get creative! Use fabric wraps, newspaper, or reusable bags to cut down on waste. Bonus: They look unique and beautiful!
💡 Go for Experiences Over Things:
Tickets to a show, a voucher for a workshop, or a special day out—memories last longer than most material gifts.
🌱 Support Local & Eco-Friendly:
Shop small, sustainable, and local. Gifts from your favorite eco store (wink, wink!) not only delight your loved ones but also support the planet.
🧠 Think Before You Buy:
Pause before purchasing—ask yourself, “Will this gift add value to their life, or is there a better option?”
Let’s make this a Christmas to remember for all the right reasons—one where we give gifts that bring joy without costing the Earth. 💚
