THIS festive season, Shepparton residents have an opportunity to celebrate in a way that’s not only full of cheer, but also kind to our planet. An eco-friendly Christmas is easier than you might think.
Start with your decorations, consider using natural materials like, eucalyptus leaves, pinecones, or reusable ornaments that can be enjoyed year after year.
When it comes to gift-giving, think sustainable. Choose gifts from local businesses that prioritise environmentally-friendly practices, or consider giving experiences rather than material items. You could also use recyclable or reusable wrapping paper, or even a beautiful piece of fabric.
For your festive feast, source ingredients locally where possible, reducing the carbon footprint of your meal. And after the celebrations, remember to reuse or recycle your Christmas tree and any packaging. This Christmas, let’s make our festivities in Shepparton merry, bright and green.
