Sustainable Holidays

Join us in reducing waste this holiday season!

Every holiday season, it can be a struggle for us environmentally minded folks to buy gifts for our eco-conscious friends and family. We browse store aisles and websites wondering, “Is this something they’ll actually use? Or am I only buying this so I’ll have something to give them?”

If you’re facing this last-minute holiday dilemma, we’ve got a solution for you: make a donation to your favorite nonprofit on behalf of your loved one! This gift requires no shiny non-recyclable wrapping paper, and it will never end up floating in a patch of ocean plastic; instead, donations produce tangible real-world benefits for a cause important to you and your loved one. Naturally, we think Sustainability Matters is the ideal nonprofit to choose!

If you’d like to make a gift to Sustainability Matters on behalf of a friend or family member this holiday season, you can make that donation online. Then, let us know by emailing us at hello@sustainabilitymatters.earth, and we’ll email you back a snazzy PDF certificate, perfect for printing out and tucking into a holiday card.

Green Gifting Webinar

Expert tips to make holiday celebrations more sustainable

Our second tip for more sustainable holidays actually leads to a couple dozen more tips: watch the replay of our recent Green Gifting webinar! While the holiday season is already upon us, it’s not too late to get some great tips on eco-friendly gifting, DIY crafts and decorations, how to discuss sustainable celebrations with your family and loved ones, and much, much more!

In the video, our expert panelists from Virginia Mercantile, Great.Full Goods, and Scraplanta have amazing ideas to transform the culture of the holiday season, making it an opportunity to showcase your creativity and live out your environmental values. There’s still plenty of time to use many of these tips this year, while some of the ideas (using a suit of armor as a Christmas tree, for instance!) may spark some great conversation around this year’s holiday table and lead to memorable plans for the future!
