With Christmas right around the corner, it’s time to talk about gifts.

There is no question that Christmas is one of the busiest and most celebrated holidays worldwide. For many of us, it’s a time to enjoy the company of our loved ones, feast on delicious food and shell out big money on presents for our friends and family.

Yet from wrapping paper to Christmas trees and traditional turkey dinners, Christmas is a big day for pollution. If you’re trying to live low impact, it can also be a tricky time. Personally, I know my friends and family often struggle to find gifts that match up with my ethical stances and beliefs. After all, even after all these years I sometimes struggle buying things for myself!

Between organising dinner parties and last-minute work and family commitments, one thing we can all agree on is that nobody needs any extra stress this Christmas season. For this reason, I have compiled a list of 9 creative, thoughtful and practical gifts for the environmentalist in your life.

But first, a few things to keep in mind.
