#eco friendly christmas

[the-solarpunk-activist]

So I was scrolling through the Christmas tag and realized I could make a post about our low waste Christmas stuff

Make a pinecone garland. We collect ours from the alley behind the house but you can also collect them from the woods, parks, etc. All you do is take the pinecone and tie a rustic twine around them. You can also use this method for ornaments

Dried orange garland. Compostable and looks neat, you can reuse every year if done right but if you don't, bam compost. I recommend using a cotton twine for extra compost abilities

Same thing with food garland for the tree, use cotton for easily compostable.

Or make a garland for the birds outside! I recommend this link: https://www.thespruce.com/bird-garland-project-diy-385752

Please forgive me for the actual link i have no idea how to hyperlink on tumblr

Vintage! We have an antique store with a vendor who sells ornaments for 1$ no matter what. I've gotten so many cool and unique pieces from her.

Actually a lot of my Christmas decor is second hand, especially keep an eye out at summer yardsales

Thrift gifts! I went to a church sale on the last day so they had a fill a garbage bag for 3$ sale! I completely bought out their mugs and I'm going to fill them with baked goods for my coworkers that work with me on Christmas eve as something extra festive :)

Besties this is popular on TikTok rn but I've been doing it for a hot minute but use tree skirts as shawls or sew together for skirts! Super cute and can find second hand easily enough

Gift handmade items. I love receiving and giving items i made myself

We also reuse wrapping paper, gift bags, tissue paper, etc

You can also use paper grocery bags as wrapping paper along with cotton string

You can decorate packages with dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks (a little pricy though), pine boughs, etc for a little flare

Reused Christmas decor! I shared a couple posts before making this one (paper bag star garland and recycled plastic bottle bells), but you can also make paper snowflakes out of recycled paper, a Christmas countdown chain out of recycled paper, bottle cap art, origami out of old wrapping paper, paper towel rolls painted with some red ribbon to form candy cane sticks, etc. Just be creative!!!

hi everyone!! i know i don't usually post articles i've written on here (especially because they're often not fandom related), but with the holiday season just around the corner i wanted to share my latest article about gift wrap alternatives!

gift wrap can be a super wasteful product that gets used only once and often is not recyclable from being mixed materials (the paper is often laminated in plastic, and sometimes you'll get metallic wrapping paper too).

i'm not sharing this in hopes to gain traffic, but more to spread awareness and give people some other ideas when it comes to buying gift wrap!! please feel free to share, save for later, and tell your friends <33

IT'S A WRAP!

All of these Christmas gifts have been wrapped with either re-used or re-purposed materials. The ribbons alone are enjoying their 3rd Christmas and will be saved for a 4th. The plastic bags, baskets and big green bag will get another go too.

Apart from the sticky tape and gift tags, wrapping these gifts cost me nothing. A merry Christmas indeed!

Welcome to my first zero waste garden post!

Here we have a little bit of everything lol. Heirloom Cotton seeds that I'm growing for my living history demonstrations as a spinner and to keep the breeds alive in a reused salad container greenhouse

Sprouted garlic for the greens in a bottle cap top (possibly from a small peanut butter? Not sure we keep all kinds of caps in a big jar)

Carrot tops from my last post in reused oui yogurt jars for salad greens, haven't sprouted yet and an avocado pit I'm trying to sprout for a house plant. I don't have hopes it'll produce any fruit but my grandma likes tropical houseplants, the peels from said avocado are in the freezer to use as dye and said living history reenactments

And sweet potatoes that started to sprout in reused fast food cups i save for greenhouses, also sprouting for houseplants for my grandma. I would plant them in the garden but they're so much hassle in my zone that they aren't worth the valuable space they'd take up

Coming soon: celery ends to resprout
