Every year, industrialized countries such as England, France or Canada produce tonnes of additional waste during the Holiday Season.

During this period, each of these countries will throw away

  • Over 2 billion Christmas cards
  • Enough ribbon to tie a bow twice around the Earth
  • Thousands of tonnes of food
  • About 7.5 million Christmas trees
    (Sources : Lincoln County, U.K., Statistiques Canada)

It is estimated that each year, at least 28 billion pounds of edible food are wasted - this means about 100 pounds per person.

All around the world, activists are fighting for a more human, a more ecological Holiday Season, in the hope that people become less materialistic for that time of the year.

We support them.

We believe it is mandatory to stop the massive waste produced by over-consumption.

We’ve compiled a list of websites that give away free, clear and simple solutions.

Let’s fight general apathy and lack of concern.
