A few simple ideas on how to minimise your environmental impact and increasing your human impact this Christmas.. Reduce waste (food and otherwise). Don't overdo it for Christmas lunch, donate non-perishables to food banks, and use string instead of sticky tape. Newspaper instead of wrapping paper, or recycled wrapping paper! Visit or call someone lonely. A relative, a neighbour, anyone who comes to mind. Donate your time, if you can. Register to have a day helping a charity improve the Christmas of someone less fortunate. (Hamper drop offs, soup kitchens etc). Choose sustainable gifts, buy from local businesses where you can. When we're all a little mindful, the impacts can be enormous. :) Merry Christmas!
