Merry Christmas from Friends of the Earth Falkirk

As the festive season reaches fever pitch remember that there are ways of reducing the mountains of waste produced at this time of the year. Don't waste Christmas.

• You could reuse and recycle wrapping paper if you need it.
  
• Give homemade cards and gifts to friends and family.
  
• Take your own shopping bags on your last minute shopping or when you go to the January sales.
• Don't cook too much food for the Christmas meal
