Switch your Christmas

“Almost 99 percent of everything we buy becomes waste within six weeks of purchase. Every wheelie bin of waste we produce from our home, equates to 70 wheelie bins of waste from the mining, manufacture, production and sale of the materials in that bin” (Environment Victoria)
 
This is never truer than at Christmas, when we throw out wrapping paper, ribbon, styrofoam packing and endless sticky tape. Read our blog post for hints to Switch your Christmas for a simpler, more joyful and environmentally friendly day.
