From the gifts we buy at Christmas to the paper that we wrap them in – everything has a carbon tag attached. But we can all limit our carbon footprint during the most indulgent time by reducing the amount we consume.

Consumption is an issue not just exclusive to Christmas, but it's definitely a time of the year where overindulgence is almost expected and it doesn’t have to be this way. Zero Waste Scotland believes that to truly end our contribution to the climate crisis, we need to think about how we consume and Christmas is a great time to start.

In part one of our Towards Zero Christmas Special, our Communications Consultant, Miriam Adcock, shares how we can all have a conscientious Christmas.
