Leftover pie creations
With so much food to buy for Christmas it is impossible not to have quite a bit of leftovers. Yet about a third of all food gets wasted causing a lot of polluting gases.
Try making a family game out of reusing things you have left from Christmas Day. Gather all left overs (turkey, chicken, sauces, stuffing, veggies, fruit) and let the kids run riot and make up their own pies. Bake them and enjoy!
Green Christmas Crafts
Green Christmas Crafting!
Christmas is wonderful, stressful and challenging in equal measures.
Try these crafting activities to keep the kids entertained while practising the Reduce-reuse mantra.
A letter to Santa from the whole family!
Buying presents is exhausting, time-consuming and expensive! It also costs the environment dearly with tons of unwanted items.
Why not try to help ourselves and the planet by sitting down as a family and writing a letter to Santa? Get some treats out and reflect on what would truly bring us joy next year.
Share the letters around to your loved ones and help them with their own Christmas shopping!

Move greener with our Trip Planner
Travelling produces 25% of our personal polluting gases. Yet we need to move to do all the things we need to do in life!!
Our Trip Planner invites your family to explore this issue by planning a few of your monthly trips together as you learn about the different options we have and what that means in terms of the pollution we create. It has some colouring and joining games and a bit of learning for every age!
Cooking with the seasons
What could be nicer than fresh fruit and veg at its seasonal best? Explore eating seasonably to experience the joy of eating fruit and vegetables at their peak of perfection: fresher, tastier, better value and better for the planet!
Try planning and cooking a recipe with seasonal veggies with our “Cooking with the seasons” activity sheets. Full of colouring, cutting, pasting and thinking! Or just explore the Eat seasonably calendar.
