How can I have a more sustainable Christmas?

Dec 2021

At Christmas we usually go big. Lots of food, lots of family, lots of presents…and our planet suffers. That’s why we want to give you some tips to experience a Christmas that is sustainable but just as exciting. It’s the best gift you can give to the planet.

 

Tips and advice for a sustainable Christmas

The importance of reusing

To decorate your home and wrap gifts, reusing will be your best ally. With materials that you already have at home, you can create ornaments or wrapping paper and save our planet a lot of plastic and paper consumption. All this while still keeping the Christmas spirit alive!

 

  • Tip! In PortAventura Indoor Pass Experience you will find several craft ideas to reuse materials and decorate your home. Don’t forget to take a look!

Eat with your head

We know that at Christmas nobody wants to fall short on food. And it’s normal, the moment we all sit around the table is one of the most special times of the year. If you measure the quantities better, you will save a lot of food and enjoy a totally sustainable Christmas without having to give up anything. And if you have food left over, don’t throw it away! You can keep it in a container for other recipes and even freeze it for other occasions.

 

  • Tip! Use up any leftover turkey or chicken in wraps, Caesar salads, or even croquettes. Don’t they sound delicious?

Get a natural or recycled tree

At PortAventura, we try to minimise our use of plastic every day and you can also join the cause with small gestures like this. That’s why the next piece of advice that we give you so that you live a Christmas as sustainable as possible is to recycle the Christmas tree or buy a natural one. You can make compost out of the wood!

 

Gift more experiences and less things

Sometimes we focus on finding a perfect, but material gift, and it’s not always the best option. Giving an experience makes a lot more sense! You’ll create a memory for that person and give them the opportunity to experience a full range of emotions. And that can’t be bought in any store. In addition, it’s a perfect way to share, since they can be enjoyed in company.

Tickets to PortAventura are the perfect option. You can also extend that experience with accommodation at one of our hotels. Just choose the one you think they’ll like the most!

 

Each gesture counts

If we all do a little bit, can you imagine the amount of energy and resources that we can save? Because a small gesture may seem very little… but thousands of small gestures can add up to a spectacular result. We hope we have convinced you and that you follow our tips for a Christmas that is sustainable but just as exciting!
