I’m dreaming of a green Christmas

With just over a week to go, I’m finally starting to get in the festive mood. I’m a bit like a child when it comes to Christmas - I love all the lights (solar powered of course), trees, log fires, decorations, and being cosy indoors with the family playing games, arguing, eating too much food and watching too much TV.

Like a lot of people, I’ve left buying most of my gifts to the last minute (thankfully there’s still time - see the gift section of the store). I say this every year, but next year I really will try to get ahead, and especially to get an eco Xmas tree growing in advance.

According to a survey by the Energy Saving Trust, eighteen per cent of people would be happy to ditch the Christmas lights on the outside of their home in a bid to save energy, while 90 per cent say they will still consider buying green electrical products this yule despite the credit crunch. The results show that the UK public will go to great lengths to be more green over Christmas.

If you’re planning an eco friendly green Xmas this year, there are plenty of ideas and tips in my Green Christmas article.
