VideoJug: How To Have A Green Christmas

Ease yourself into thinking about Christmas with this helpful Videojug production.

How to make your own Christmas decorations

• Simple paper decorations can be very effective.
• Recycle to make cool Christmas wreaths.
• Recycle last year’s cards into this year’s baubles.

Where to get recycled, eco-friendly and Fairtrade Christmas decorations

• Natural Collection sell 3m long palm-leaf streamers in packs of six for £10.95. Each of the streamers in the pack is a different colour. A far cry from the factory glitter that gets churned out and discarded each year.
• Ethical Superstore sells Fairtrade handpainted Hindi lamp Christmas tree decorations at £2.50 each, adding a taste of the exotic to your tree.
• Nigel’s Eco Store sell a range of hanging Christmas decorations made of recycled computer circuit boards at £2.99 each, or £7.99 for three.
