Green Friday
Following another year of massive Black Friday and Cyber Monday over spending, resulting in waste and environmental damage, Do The Green Thing invites you to celebrate #GreenFriday on Friday 1 December as they unveil their Ungifted site.
The free-to-use Ungifted platform guides users through a series of thoughtful illustrations that depict environmentally-friendly, experience-based gifts. These are followed by a set of questions that encourage people to come up with Ungifted alternatives to the usual landfill-destined stocking fillers.
The population of Britain receives over £2 billion worth of unwanted Christmas gifts every year. Each item returned is shipped at least three times – and as many as five times – to get through a chain of retailers, wholesalers and resellers. This ever-increasing problem is taking its toll on the environment, as well as people’s wallets.
If you want a greener Christmas, this might be the answer.
