Waste not want notDid you know that the UK produces around 3 million tonnes of rubbish each Christmas period?
This Christmas why not make some small changes to help reduce the overall waste this year. For example, why not substitute your normal crackers for Biome Lifestyle’s that are made from seed paper and come with eco gifts and tips. If you plant the seed paper, you will be left with beautiful wild flowers to remember your Christmas by instead of additional rubbish to add to your bag. In addition, why not try Biome Lifestyle’s recycled products including wrapping paper, cards and some stunning Christmas wreaths made in Mali from recycled materials. You can also dress the tree differently this year with some fair trade and sustainable decorations a selection of unique ornaments made from reclaimed Perspex. And, for those young at heart, there are the re-useable advent calendars and exclusive UK made Christmas stockings.

Perfect for that ‘green’ friend who wants to do their bit
for the environment - the XEO is just right for them this

size in no time at all and powering through plastic
