Shop Sustainably

Christmas. It’s the most wonderful time of the year – a chance to relax, spend time with loved ones and chomp through your favourite chocolates before anyone else gets a look-in. But it’s also the single most stuff-laden time of the year, with a flurry of gifts exchanging hands throughout the season. We each spend an average of £381.60 on Christmas gifts every year, and as a nation we waste millions of pounds on unwanted gifts. That’s not only a huge waste of money, but it means tonnes of items are being shoved into drawers and into the backs of cupboards never to be seen again – a big waste of the energy and other resources needed to produce them in the first place. And, of course, a lot of the usual Christmas pressies – shower gel gift sets and novelty stocking fillers, for example – are already laden with plastic, which takes a major environmental toll. But environmental worries needn’t interfere with the spirit of Christmas – ‘tis the season of giving, after all! Here are our top tips for gifting a bit more eco-consciously this December.

Before the Green Claims Code was introduced, consumers were largely left to their own devices to identify greenwashing. Now this legislation means that consumers can hold companies accountable for sustainability claims.

As of 2021, 73% of UK consumers want to be more sustainable while 50% have said that 2020 was a “wake up call” to protect the environment. In response, more and more companies have come to the realisation that they must embrace sustainability to ensure their own longevity. While some are taking meaningful action to lessen their impact on the environment and treat people fairly, others continue to neglect planet and people for profit. These days it seems that pretty much every company is busy announcing new sustainability initiatives… The unfortunate truth is that these claims are often nothing more than deceptive marketing used to persuade us that an organisation’s products, aims and policies are environmentally friendly. This is greenwashing. The chances are that we’ve all fallen victim to greenwashing at least once. Big budget marketing campaigns can be incredibly convincing. That said, there’s things to look out for and ways to recognise greenwashing before it’s too late. Here’s how.
