Also to help organise the perfect Green Christmas, save money and reduce your carbon footprint we have listed some useful tips.

1. Serve local, healthy and seasonal December foods at your events and Christmas parties.

2. Decorating your house - Go for ethically made and traded decorations. Kids really enjoy making their own green decorations out of old scraps of material.

3. E-mail invites cards rather than post them or alternatively make your own out of scrap and recycled products.

4. Christmas heating and lighting bills can be huge! Save cash and protect the environment by using energy saving devices.

5. Use recycled paper, gift bags or even colorful cloth to wrap the Christmas presents

6. Make a green statement this Christmas ! Send a message to the manufacturers of consumer goods by shopping for & buying only natural, non toxic, eco friendly, organic presents this year.

7. Which makes a better tree? Artificial or a real one? Simply real ones are as they are great for the environment and can be replanted after use.

8. How do we give children what they desire but without poisoning our planet? Take electronic toys for instance,  only 2% of batteries are currently recycled - the rest end up in landfill sites and are poisoning our planet! So what do you do? Choose an eco toy.

9. Recycle your unwanted presents. Unfortunately everyone receives at least one unwanted gift at Christmas. Many recycle their unwanted presents to charities. Local hospitals and hospices are often very pleased to receive unwanted smellies to give to patients.

10. Don't go overboard especially in the current climate and remember - reduce, reuse and recycle.
