As Christmas Day approaches, supermarkets and shops are stocked to the brim with treats and must-haves for the festive season and there’s untold pressure from all directions - from kids, from family, from school, from tradition - not to leave anything off the list - let alone trying to side-step the ambush of plastic packaging.

So in the spirit of all things EcoMomical - we want to take you on a journey of discovery and reflection on all the modern day Christmassy habits, trends and customs that fly in the face of our climate crisis - and leave us with nothing but a carbon hangover and a planet that will have even more pollutants to shed in the New Year.
