How to have a greener Christmas dinner

Christmas is only a few days away now (as my little daughter keeps reminding me), so it’s time to get the Chrimbo-dinner ready to go.  There are a few rules that will make any festive feast a whole lot greener.  These are them:

1. Buy less food: less food = less waste, you do the maths.

2. Buy local:  if that’s not available, buy organic or Fairtrade.

3. Recycle:  recycle all food packaging.

4. Compost: all organic waste (you can compost meat and other cooked food with a food digester).

5. Buy loose: rather than pre-packaged.  There’s less waste that way.
