🎄 Circular Dorking’s Sustainable Christmas Guide 🎁
This festive season, Circular Dorking has created a brilliant guide to help us celebrate Christmas more sustainably. It brings together ideas from a wealth of trusted sources — from crafting handmade gifts to choosing eco-friendly cards and wrapping — all designed to reduce waste and support our local community.
The guide also highlights fantastic local brands, making it easier to shop locally and boost Mole Valley’s economy while ticking off your gift list. When you spend money at a local business, a larger portion of that money stays within your community compared to spending at a large, non-local chain.
If you want to look at well known brands to see how they score on their ethical rating visit the Good Shopping Guide. They compare thousands of the biggest brands in our Ethical Ratings Tables. We research environmental track records, animal welfare and human rights issues.

🎁 Did you know…
Millions of Christmas cards and crackers end up in landfill each year. By switching to reusable crackers and choosing cards that are fully recyclable (avoid glitter and foil!), we can all help cut down on seasonal waste.
