Eco Advent Calendars
Eco Advent Calendars for the whole family
Christmas is hot on our heals, we can almost smell the mulled wine and mince pies. As the festive season calls, we thought what better time to shed some light on the wonderful world of Eco Advent Calendars. They won’t leave you with wasteful packaging, but they will leave you with the joyful feeling and magic during the advent season. So, if you’re looking for a more eco-friendly Christmas look no further, we have got you covered, but you might be asking yourself, what’s really wrong with the old traditional advent calendar?
Let us break it down for you, did you know what an extra three million tons of plastic waste is generated every festive season in the UK. You read that correctly, three million, which blows our mind. If you’re going to be doing your part to reduce that number then a great place to start would be switching out the old traditional advent calendars stuffed with that dreaded plastic inner for more eco advent calendars like one you can fill with your own eco gifts or delicious homemade treats. If a “do it yourself” calendar doesn’t appeal to you, then we have some dreamy eco alternates that can be delivered straight to your door or sent as a gift.
Here are our top two Eco Advent Calendars for the whole family.
