A sustainable Christmas: decorations

Our volunteers in the Environment and Sustainability Working Group have shared their advice on how to decorate sustainably this December!


  1. 1 Search charity shops for second hand decorations...


    Or keep your eye on second-hand apps like Vinted. You might be able to find some chic, vintage decorations. Go to local craft fairs to buy your decorations from small businesses. 

  2. 2 ...And donate decorations you don't want anymore.

  3. 3 Do a decorations swap with friends and family!

  4. 4 Use dried oranges and other natural materials to decorate.


  5. 5 Decorate with plants.


  6. 6 Get crafty and fashion a popcorn garland.


  7. 7 Make your own wreath from foraged materials.


  8. 8 Use a re-usable advent calendar that you can refill every year.


  9. 9 Use red and green decorations that can be used to add colour but also use all year round.

  10. 10 Try to use the decorations you already have (from last Christmas or even from other celebrations!)
