Black Friday and Cyber Monday are some of the busiest (albeit craziest) shopping days of the year. For all intents and purposes - they’re great. Allowing shoppers to make a dent in their Christmas shopping, with a little less impact on the wallet. But all this shopping can have a pretty big impact on the planet, if we let it that is.

With physical and online retailers - and we hold our hands up - pumping out more orders than ever, there’s more plastic, cardboard and an increased carbon footprint thanks to all those extra deliveries. So while we get our bargains (yay) we also get a lot more waste (nay). That’s why we’re taking some small steps to minimize, and to an extent reverse, the effects of all that Black Friday fever.
