ECO CONGREGATION GREENING:

Christmas is an invitation to all to consider our Planet Earth and help reduce the environmental impact of the holiday season. According to a report by MyWaste.ie the annual Christmas splurge sees us produce 25% – 30% more waste than we normally do, which in turn costs all financially and harms the environment.

Eco Congregation invites all to consider the burden of our Christmas activities. With just a little effort an imagination we can save financially and reduce the impact on our precious earth. It is important to be conscious of the planet in our Christmas preparation and choosing of gifts. Buying locally produced products wherever possible, supports small businesses, reduces transportation costs thus having a positive environmental impact. We can lessen the impact on our planet by choosing goods that are manufactured from recycled sources. It also helps to avoid where possible, buying gifts that require batteries.

A survey found that 57% of people receive at least one unwanted gift, so ask people what they want for Christmas – or give them a few options to choose from. Focus on buying less and buying better.
