Dreaming of a Green Christmas - A Guide to Sustainable Celebrations


'Tis the season to be jolly, but it's also the time to be mindful of our impact on the environment. As we immerse ourselves in the festive spirit, it's essential to consider sustainable choices that align with the principles of eco-friendliness. In this guide, we'll explore how to have a sustainable Christmas with a focus on every detail, including your sleep haven. Here are our top tips on how you can have a green and serene holiday season.

1. Choosing Sustainable Decorations:
Start your sustainable Christmas journey by opting for eco-friendly decorations. Consider reusable ornaments, natural materials, and DIY crafts that can be enjoyed year after year. Instead of synthetic decorations, choose items made from recycled materials to minimize waste.

2. Eco-Conscious Gift Wrapping:
Wrap your presents in a sustainable manner by using recycled wrapping paper or opting for reusable alternatives like cloth gift bags. Get creative with your wrapping style and add a personal touch with fabric ribbons or natural elements like twigs and pinecones.

3. Mindful Gift Giving:
When selecting gifts, prioritize sustainable and ethical options. Calma Sleep's Bamboo Bedding makes for a thoughtful and eco-conscious present. Not only is bamboo a rapidly renewable resource, but we also ensure sustainable manufacturing practices, creating a gift that promotes both comfort and sustainability.

4. Feast with a Green Touch:
Plan your Christmas feast with sustainability in mind. Opt for locally sourced, organic ingredients, and minimize food waste by planning portion sizes carefully. Consider incorporating plant-based dishes into your menu to reduce your carbon footprint.

5. Creating an Energy-Efficient Atmosphere:
Illuminate your home with energy-efficient LED lights and candles made from soy or beeswax. Dim the lights and create a cozy ambiance with the soft glow of candles to enhance the holiday spirit while minimizing energy consumption.

6. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle:
Implement a recycling station for your holiday gatherings, making it easy for guests to dispose of their waste responsibly. Encourage the use of reusable plates, cups, and utensils to cut down on single-use plastics and reduce the overall environmental impact of your celebrations.

7. Embrace a Sustainable Sleep Sanctuary:
Upgrade your sleep space with Calma Sleeps Bamboo Bedding. The use of bamboo in bedding not only provides a luxurious and comfortable feel but also contributes to sustainability. Bamboo is known for its rapid growth, minimal water requirements, and the ability to thrive without pesticides, making it an eco-friendly choice for bedding materials.

This Christmas, let's make a conscious effort to celebrate in a way that respects our planet. By incorporating sustainable practices into every aspect of the holiday season, from decorations to gift-giving and even our sleep sanctuary, we can create lasting memories that align with our commitment to a greener future.  Here's to a joyful and sustainable holiday season!
