Christmas is magical but doesn’t have to cost the Earth. This Festive Season we’re sharing simple tips to help you reduce, reuse and recycle your way through the festive season – keeping the joy while cutting the waste. 

Alderman Owen Gawith, Environment and Sustainability Committee Chair said: “Christmas is such a wonderful time, but it often brings a mountain of waste with it. From heaps of packaging to extra food, it all adds up. The great thing is a few simple changes can make a big difference.”

“Going greener doesn’t mean losing the sparkle. It’s about making smart, sustainable choices - choosing thoughtful gifts, reducing food waste and picking reusable or recyclable materials. You still get the sparkle, but with less impact on the planet.”

“I’d love everyone to follow us on social media, try out our festive tips and share them with friends and family. Let’s make this Christmas joyful, bright, and a little bit greener, together.“
