It is that time of the year again. Thousands of lights are glittering in streets and shopping centers, and we are rustling around looking at the windows, wrecking our minds, attempting to find the perfect gifts for our friends and family members. We are buying wrapping paper by meter and indulge in all the treats that the holiday has to offer. December truly is a special time of the year, but also one that leaves a heavy mark on our individual yearly CO2 consumption.

This article provides some ideas and considerations we could all take into account when planning this year’s presents to make more conscious and green decisions.
