Support eco-friendly Christmas activities

Christmas is all about indulgence, but as we become more environmentally conscious as a society, many of our favourite festivities are getting an eco-update.

Visit an eco-friendly Christmas market

We love the hustle and bustle of events like Winter Wonderland, but now there’s no need to sacrifice your sustainability credentials when enjoying mulled wine and some crafty stalls. In London there’s quite a few to pick from including Winter Wild Conscious Christmas Fair in Hammersmith on 7 December, the Sustainable Christmas Market which will be holding zero-waste workshops in Clapton on 1 December and the Zero Waste Christmas Market on 7 December on Brick Lane (there’s also dates in Manchester and Brighton).

Join a Christmas litter pick-up event

Keep Britain Tidy helps organise litter pick-up events the whole year round, up and down the country. But why not use Christmas as an excuse to be extra selfless, and tidy up your area? Not only will you be doing good for the environment, but there’s nothing like a bit of camaraderie at Christmas.
