Are you dreaming about a white or green Christmas?
Traditionally, most people hope for a white Christmas in the UK. However, more and more individuals are working towards making it a green one.
With environmental issues a high priority on the social and political agenda, Brits are keen to enjoy the festivities and, at the same time, be kind to the planet.

Statistics show that more waste is produced at Christmas by the food and drink we consume and the presents we exchange. With this in mind, the government and the public are making a conscious effort to make 2006 an eco-friendly Christmas.

For example, the Scottish Executive has dedicated a section of its website to advising the public on the different ways they can have a green Christmas.
Suggestions include re-using old Christmas cards and wrapping paper, using energy-saving Christmas lights, and saving product waste by buying “experience” gifts, like theatre tickets or a museum pass.

Another suggestion on the site was made by Duncan McLaren, from Friends of the Earth Scotland. He said: “If you really must have a Christmas tree, then make it a live one.” This idea is also recommended by local councils across England.
Suffolk Coastal District Council, for example, has encouraged local residents to buy a real Christmas tree which can be planted out or composted after the festive season.

Councillor Andrew Nunn, the Cabinet Member for the Environment, said: “Trees with roots can be replanted in the garden either for re-use next year or just left to grow to enhance the garden scene. People are often put off buying a real tree because of falling needles, but this is now a thing of the past with new varieties of trees being grown that hardly shed any. Needles that do fall can be swept up and put on the compost heap or in the brown garden waste bin for recycling.”
