Live Simply at Christmas

  • simply – buy gifts which people need, instead of excess that will be wasted

  • sustainably with creation – reduce, reuse, recycle. Why not shop for gifts at your local charity shop and re-use wrapping paper and gift bags? Shop local and avoid air miles

  • in solidarity with people living in poverty – buy fairly traded and ethically sourced gifts. Is there a social enterprise near you that you could support? What about giving to a local foodbank? Or a reverse advent calendar?

How will you make this Christmas one full of justice and peace?
