Eco-friendly Christmas: Sustainable and environmentally friendly ways of decoration

As the Christmas festival approaches, houses are decorated. Shining stars, colorful lights, and Christmas trees add to the beauty of the festival, but this time, Christmas is special for the environment as well. With eco-friendly decorations, not only can you celebrate the festival, but you can also contribute to protecting nature.

Let's know some of the best and most sustainable decoration methods.

1. Use a natural Christmas tree

Choose natural options instead of a plastic Christmas tree. Decorate a potted plant or dry twig instead of a tree. You can also decorate a plant like neem, basil, or deodar as a Christmas tree. These plants will give your house freshness even after the festival.

2. Decoration with recycled material

Making decorations from old things is a creative and eco-friendly way. Garlands, stars and other decorative items can be made with the help of newspapers, jute bags, old clothes and cardboard. Making it with children can make Christmas preparations more fun.

3. Use paper lighting and candles

Use solar lights or paper lampshades for festive lighting. Opt for earthen diyas and natural candles instead of plastic lights. These not only look beautiful but also save electricity.

4. Zero-waste gift wrapping

Instead of using plastic and shiny papers for gift wrapping, use old newspapers, cloth or jute bags. You can also use leaves, flowers and ropes to make the wrapping beautiful.

5. Natural decorative items

Decorate your home with natural things like dried flowers, leaves, pine twigs and fruits. These are completely biodegradable and add natural beauty to your home.

6. Reusable decorations

Instead of buying new decoration items every year, reuse old decorative items. Decorating with things already available at home is not only budget-friendly but also shows environmental awareness.

7. Give eco-friendly gifts

Gift your loved one’s eco-friendly things. Handmade products, plants, clay jewellery, or bamboo items are great eco-friendly and sustainable gifting options.

Make the festival more special by adopting eco-friendly decorations this Christmas. We can fulfill our responsibility towards the environment by taking small steps. When our house is decorated in natural ways, the joy of the festival will also double and the earth will also get relief.
