Learn how to celebrate Christmas sustainably with these tips from Voice Ireland and the Irish Mirror. Reduce food waste, choose eco-friendly gifts, and enjoy a waste-free festive season.
Christmas is an exciting time of year but the messaging around it often encourages excessive spending. Voice Ireland promotes a sustainable approach, encouraging people to celebrate Christmas without harming the environment. The Irish Mirror has partnered with Voice Ireland to provide tips on making Christmas 2024 as waste-free as possible.
The charity emphasizes the importance of the traditional mantra - reduce, reuse, recycle - and applies it to various aspects of Christmas, including gift-giving, cooking, toys, batteries, and even New Year's leftovers. \When it comes to food, Voice Ireland advises planning meals, storing leftovers properly, and using up all food to minimize waste. They suggest making shopping lists, buying loose produce to reduce packaging, and using freezer containers with labels. Recipes for preserving or using leftovers can be found on websites like StopfoodWaste.ie and in books like Catlin Ruth's 'Ferment'. \For gifts, Voice Ireland recommends experiences that eliminate the need for packaging or handmade gifts as a last-minute solution. Embracing a circular Christmas by buying preloved, upcycled, or refurbished items is also encouraged
