POPSUGAR chatted with sustainable business coach Claire Bradbury to understand how best to strike this balance, including how to recycle your Christmas tree and make eco-friendly Christmas crackers. Keep reading for all 12 tips and tricks — one for each day of Christmas — to help you do exactly that.
