Now we're not telling you you can't have your turkey this Christmas...but we could all maybe add more veggies to our festive feasts to reduce meat consumption π₯¦π₯π
It's the last day of our Sustainable Christmas tips round up! We're taking a look at arguably the part of Christmas everyone looks forward to most...the food!

Christmas is all about sparkle β¨ but don't forget most glitters are made of plastic which is hugely damaging for marine life. Shop around for sustainable glitters or ditch it all together
