12 Days of Sustainability: Raise A Glass

12 Days of Sustainability is a series of tips to make your holidays more sustainable. If you follow our tips, you can celebrate the holidays while keeping our future bright. You can find the rest on our Environicle .

A popular tradition around the holidays is to never show up empty handed at a party. A bottle of wine is the usual go-to gift to bring to a family celebration. This year, make sure you’re bringing a bottle from a local Ontario winery.

Not only is it is economically sustainable to buy local wine, thanks to the Sustainable Winemaking Ontario Certified program from Ontario Craft Wineries, it’s environmentally sustainable too. Wineries like Cave Spring Cellars and Stratus Vineyard are certified sustainable.

If your host prefers beer to wine, then pick up a pack of local craft beer. There are breweries like Beau’s that are just as committed to sustainability. Beau’s has sustainable initiatives from their packaging to their water waste treatment.

If you’re looking for something non-alcoholic, there’s a Canadian brewery that makes non-alcoholic beer! Partake Brewing was meant to bring craft quality to non-alcoholic beer so that people who can’t drink due to illness or other reasons can still participate.

So celebrate the holidays sustainably and inclusively this year. Looking for more holiday tips? Catch the rest of the 12 Days of Sustainability by signing up for our mailing list !
