As Christmas rolls around the corner, people roam around shopping mall aisles filling up wishlists. While gift-giving is precious this time of year, more gifts mean more waste, plastic, and emissions from manufacturing. And that’s not to mention the mountains of paper waste from all the wrapping paper that gets shredded on Christmas morning.
During this time of year, shopping for sustainable, eco-friendly gifts is more important than ever. Not only is it a great way to make your gift ideas unique and sustainably sourced, but it also lets you become more environmentally conscious.
Instead of gifting something that will likely wind up in the garbage within a couple of weeks, consider these thoughtful sustainable delights, which include charming gifts for her, lovely ideas for him, gifts for teenagers, and even budget-friendly coworker gifts.
Find the perfect eco-friendly gifts that will make your Christmas sustainable!
