Have a Green Christmas with Ecotopia

Published

on

Ecotopia, the online store run by Britain’s leading green energy company Ecotricity, has this year launched a fantastic range of Christmas gift ideas to encourage people to shop more sustainably.

The average Briton will create 650kg of carbon emissions over three days of festivities*, much of which will go on buying presents produced overseas in highly polluting factories, so shopping more ethically could have a huge impact on Britain’s emissions.

Ecotopia aims to harness the power of shopping to change the world, encouraging shoppers to use their purchases to challenge the status quo and support a better way of doing things. All products are either Fairtrade, organic or sustainably sourced and have a social, ethical or environmental benefit.

At Ecotopia, there are gifts for all the family, from bubble bath for mum to sunglasses for dad and den kits for the kids, so visitwww.ecotopia.co.uk to browse the fantastic selection.
