Christmas time is actually about peace, quiet and gratitude. But instead, this time is often characterized by stress and hectic pace.Because of all the errands and all the stress in the run-up to Christmas, we often overlook the fact that our behavior is particularly harmful to the environment during this time! Food waste, high electricity consumption due to the countless Christmas lights and unnecessary luxurious gifts are not uncommon at this time of year. We want to show you: There is another way! The festival of love can also be celebrated sustainably🎄.The criteria and examples for the most sustainable gift possible:The most important point first: Before making a purchase, always consider whether the person will actually use and need the gift! A gift that the person receiving the gift does not want and will not use or enjoy is always a waste. A simple solution is to ask the person what they could use! If you don't want to ask directly, you can also ask family members, partners or friends. Or ask if there is anything the recipient uses regularly that could be renewed or replaced.If you are buying your gift on short transport routes and regional producers pay attention, saves Du a lot of CO2. Home-baked cookies or homemade spreads are particularly popular at Christmas. When purchasing, pay attention to organic and regional products and you will have a great sustainable and homemade gift for your loved ones.Likewise, a sustainable gift should be resource-saving. That means using existing resources, i.e. recycling and upcycling. “Make new from old” has become very popular in recent years. Whether bracelets made from fishing nets or furniture made from Euro pallets, there are countless beautiful upcycling ideas to give as gifts. Biodegradable andReusabilityare also great criteria for an environmentally conscious present. Gifts made of glass, paper, metal or wood are very suitable because these raw materials can be reused. A sustainable glass bottle, for example, is a great gift idea from this category. This way you avoid microplastics that could get into your body through plastic bottles. On top of that, drinking more tap water saves CO2, as you don't have to buy water that has to travel unnecessarily long distances.Of course, sustainable gifts should also be ecologically harmless, i.e. plastic and chemical-free. As most people already know, avoiding waste and especially avoiding plastic is very important for our environment. For example, give away a cloth coated with beeswax. This is a super plastic-free alternative to cling film or aluminum foil. Ideally, your gift will even directly help our environment. For example, by sponsoring a bee or tree, you are giving away a sweet, personal contribution to protecting the environment.You should also make sure that your gift is produced fairly! Good working conditions and decent wages are important. Just look at the packaging of food, the more specific the better. Fairly traded chocolate is always well received and makes your loved ones particularly happy during the “sweet” Christmas season.Finally, a very important point: Longevity! And what is the first thing we at SHAVENT think of when we hear this word😉? Of course, on our plastic-free, made with ❤️ in Germany, comfortable swing head razor.
