We\u2019re not here to be the Grinch and take Christmas away from you. But with these easy tips, everyone can have a sustainable Christmas in Singapore. Read on to find out how you can play a part.<\/p>\n<h2>How to have a sustainable Christmas in Singapore<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Host a low-waste gathering<\/h3>\n<p>Hosting a low-waste gathering is easier than you think and adds a touch of eco-chic to your celebrations. Ditch the disposables and opt for reusable plates, cups, and cutlery to cut down on landfill waste. It looks classier anyway. For an extra sustainable flair, use cloth napkins or upcycled decorations. Instead of tossing leftovers, encourage guests to bring their own reusable containers to take home food \u2013 it&#8217;s a win-win for reducing waste and sharing the festive cheer. Plan portions to avoid prepping too much, and let your gathering be the perfect blend of merry and mindful!<\/p>\n<h3>2. Get a real Christmas tree<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_263440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-263440\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-263440 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/sustainable-christmas-Jonathan-Chng-via-Unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"sustainable christmas | Jonathan Chng via Unsplash\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/sustainable-christmas-Jonathan-Chng-via-Unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/sustainable-christmas-Jonathan-Chng-via-Unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/sustainable-christmas-Jonathan-Chng-via-Unsplash.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-263440\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Jonathan Chng via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What&#8217;s Christmas without a beautifully decorated <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/where-to-buy-christmas-trees-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christmas tree<\/a> to store your presents under? You can get yours from various stores and florists around Singapore. But if you&#8217;re wondering whether a real or artificial tree is better for the environment, you might be surprised to know it&#8217;s actually greener to get a living plant. Why? With real trees come fewer carbon emissions from production and shipping. Some even say you have to use an artificial tree for at least 20 years to minimise the environmental impact of producing it. They aren&#8217;t recyclable either. But a real Christmas tree or plant can live on after the Christmas lights come down.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Shop responsibly<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_267067\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-267067\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-267067 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/things-to-do-in-singapore-vintage-shopping-900x643.png\" alt=\"sustainable christmas | vintage shopping\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/things-to-do-in-singapore-vintage-shopping-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/things-to-do-in-singapore-vintage-shopping-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/things-to-do-in-singapore-vintage-shopping.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-267067\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Marcus Loke via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is a hard one for shopaholics, with mega shopping extravaganzas like <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/1111-black-friday-cyber-monday-sale-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">11.11 and Black Friday sales<\/a> in place. So, how can we shop sustainably with these tempting events around? Opt for quality gifts that hold value and meaning. Instead of a marked-down cookie-cutter item, gift a lovely <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/indoor-house-plants-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">house plant<\/a>, restaurant voucher or a unique item from a boutique local store. Go one step further and surprise a loved one with an experience like a fun <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/craft-workshops-singapore\/\">craft workshop<\/a>\u00a0or a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/baking-classes-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">baking class<\/a>. At least you\u2019ll know they won\u2019t return your gift or re-gift it to someone else.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Reduce food waste<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_244356\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-244356\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-244356 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/sustainable-christmas-Reduce-food-waste--900x643.png\" alt=\"sustainable-christmas-Reduce-food-waste\u00a0\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/sustainable-christmas-Reduce-food-waste--900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/sustainable-christmas-Reduce-food-waste--768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/sustainable-christmas-Reduce-food-waste-.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-244356\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amy Shamblen via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s a tradition to have massive sharing portions, a whole turkey and hearty bone-in hams at the dinner table. But if your party size is on the more intimate side, here are some tips. Order fewer dishes when selecting your <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/christmas-food-delivery-takeaways-catering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christmas takeaways<\/a>. Cooking your own meal? Opt for amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/plant-based-meat-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plant-based alternatives<\/a>, shop at local farms or bag your essentials at <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/zero-waste-groceries-bulk-stores-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">zero-waste grocery stores<\/a> instead. If you\u2019re still craving a traditional meal, be prepared for a week of reheating leftovers so they don\u2019t go to waste!<\/p>\n<h3>5. Buying a new outfit? Hold that thought\u2026<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_259905\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-259905\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-259905 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/bridesmaid-dresses-singapore-BHLDN-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"bridesmaid dresses singapore | BHLDN\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/bridesmaid-dresses-singapore-BHLDN-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/bridesmaid-dresses-singapore-BHLDN.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/bridesmaid-dresses-singapore-BHLDN-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/bridesmaid-dresses-singapore-BHLDN-1536x1097.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-259905\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: BHLDN via Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ask yourself: do you really need another glamorous, sequin-heavy outfit that you\u2019ll only use a handful of times before it gets stashed away in your wardrobe? Probably not. Be mindful of your shopping habits and purchase your Christmas outfit from a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/sustainable-fashion-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sustainable fashion label<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/vintage-shops-clothes-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vintage shop<\/a> instead. They may not sport a crazy marked-down price like most fast fashion brands, but think about it from a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/fast-fashion-problem-ethical-sustainable\/\">cost-per-wear<\/a> basis. Or, look to alternatives like <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/give-away-stuff-clothes-swap-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clothes swapping<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/rent-dresses-in-singapore-online-rental-stores\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dress rentals<\/a>. Psst: it\u2019s also not a crime to repurpose old outfits!<\/p>\n<h3>6.

We don\u2019t wanna say no to decorations altogether, so here are some tips to keep things sustainable: purchase handmade or eco-friendly decorations that can be recycled, or simply DIY! Get everyone in the family involved to create handmade ornaments using materials you can find at home. Alternatively, swap Christmas decor with your family and friends so you&#8217;ll always have something fresh and fun while being eco-friendly.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Go the Secret Santa route<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_285167\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-285167\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-285167 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/sustainable-christmas-santa-holding-gifts-900x643.png\" alt=\"sustainable christmas | santa holding gifts\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/sustainable-christmas-santa-holding-gifts-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/sustainable-christmas-santa-holding-gifts-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/sustainable-christmas-santa-holding-gifts.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-285167\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: cottonbro studio via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To truly cut down on gift-buying and celebrate an eco-friendly Christmas, consider rounding up your family and friend groups for Secret Santa gift exchanges instead. This way, you&#8217;ll only be purchasing a couple of presents instead of getting one for everyone. We&#8217;ve all been there: the last-minute panic before attending a festive party, the department store sweep with all sorts of not-so-meaningful items just to tick things off your list, and the gifts that gather dust in a corner throughout the year. Skip all that, we say!<\/p>\n<h3>8. Don\u2019t go OTT with gift wrapping<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_285166\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-285166\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-285166 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/sustainable-christmas-brown-gift-paper-wrapping-900x643.png\" alt=\"sustainable christmas | brown gift paper wrapping\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/sustainable-christmas-brown-gift-paper-wrapping-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/sustainable-christmas-brown-gift-paper-wrapping-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/sustainable-christmas-brown-gift-paper-wrapping.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-285166\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chill out on the gift wrapping.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s cool to go minimal with your gift wrapping anyway, so why not give the understated look a go? Instead of gaudy ribbons and foil or glossy gift wrappers, switch to reusable fabric and recyclable paper. Also, put your wrapping skills to the test by using less tape. Feel free to reuse the packaging you\u2019ve received too! Don\u2019t throw out gift boxes, ribbons and other decorative items that come along with your gifts \u2013 they might come in handy for gifting down the line.<\/p>\n<p>With these quick and easy tips, you\u2019ll be on your way to a greener and more sustainable Christmas in no time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the time of the year when we indulge ourselves with exuberant gifts, massive feasts and dreamy Christmas decorations.
