The Advent and Christmas season can also be made sustainable. You can find lots of information and ideas, from A for Advent decorations to W for Christmas trees, at the Mainz Environmental Store. We have also compiled all our environmental tips for Christmas in the list of links below.

Virtual Advent calendar

"Sustainable through the Christmas season" brochure

Every year, we celebrate Christmas. For twelve months, we look forward to the wonderful atmosphere, spending time with family and friends, and, of course, the presents.

However, this time is often associated with a lot of stress, and other important issues take a back seat. We don't notice that tons of waste are generated every year, that thousands of Christmas trees are cut down and imported again, that many cubic meters of CO2 are emitted because of all the things we buy and consume.

With this little guide, we want to give you alternatives and tips on how you can easily make your Christmas season more sustainable and still have a wonderful Christmas Eve. Maybe this year with a little less stress and a lot more joy.
