Make Your Easter Weekend Eco-Friendly

The Easter long weekend is just around the corner and no matter how you choose to celebrate it, there are plenty of sustainable ways to do so.

Fair Trade certified chocolate, compostable catering ware and low-waste Easter activities are all great ways to minimise your impact over the holiday. It’s the perfect time to catch up with family and spend time enjoying each other’s company, so slowing down and making intentional choices will be your best friend during this time. We’ve listed a few of our favourite products below to support you in making those choices as eco-friendly as possible; scroll down to take a look!

Hopefully, the Easter Bilby will drop off some of this delicious chocolate for you…or if you'd like to be on the safe side check out our special yummy offer for subscribers down below!
