The excesses of Christmas will lead to a huge amount of food waste and additional recycling once again this year.
- By gifting responsibly you can avoid quite a bit of this waste – give a voucher instead of a physical present
- Gift an experience
- Make a list before doing your Christmas shopping – and stick to it.
- Remember the shops will open again – you don’t need to stock up with a month’s supply of food.
