Here is a list of resources that contain ideas for celebrating Advent and Christmas in a more environmentally-friendly way. Psalm 24:1 tells us that ‘the earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it’, and so looking after God’s Creation is one of the ways we can express our faith and discipleship. The sort of actions you can take will depend on your preferences, budget and particular context, but even small changes can help to lessen our impact on the environment.
