The most sustainable Christmas decorations are the ones we already have!  So if you already have some, reuse them year after year and take good care of them.  If you need to purchase new décor, try to avoid plastic and look for items made from sustainable materials and preferably fairly traded. Alternatively create your own decorations from upcycled materials or things from the kitchen such as dried orange slices or cinnamon sticks. Go foraging for natural materials such as pine cones, twigs, rosehips and holly and get creative with these. Most of us enjoy decorating our homes for Christmas so let’s give some thought to making it more sustainable.
