Day twenty: Unless Kids
For the last few days of our advent calendar, we’re sharing ideas and companies that are striving to make a difference.
Unless Kids was started by parents who experienced the stress of the chaotic clutter of the playroom and the anxiety of having to throw a toy away. Luckily, these parents had also discovered the circular economy — a system for reducing waste and increasing joy.
Unless Kids was built to maintain the value of a toy for as long as possible so more kids can enjoy them for longer while protecting the planet.
Day twenty-one: Woodland Trust tips for foraging
The Woodland Trust has some great tips for foraging, perfect if you’d like to create an all natural decoration for Christmas table or your front door.
