Will Santa’s sleigh be an e-vehicle? Did Mrs Clause pack his refillable water bottle? Is he operating a boxing day wrapping collection run to see in 2020? 
NOBODY loves a green grinch or sustainable scrooge & feeling festive certainly shouldn’t be dampened by extreme opinions on environmentalism. Whilst Christmas is a time many have pinned as the most wasteful of the year, the holiday season shared with friends & family is the most magical. 
SWIPE FOR STATS 👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽
This latest feature & sustainable Christmas guide covers: 🎄 At Home & interior decisions 🦃 On the table & feasting 🎁 Under the tree & wrapping ❣️Gifts that give back - with some of my favourites social enterprises for last minute shoppers. 
For the full piece head to @sustainableandsocial via the link in bio. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals A. X #sustainableandsocial The food industry is fast adopting valuable blockchain technology to increase transparency & sustainability along value chains. 
SWIPE FOR STATS 👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽 WHY are key market players such as @nestle @starbucks @carrefourfrance @walmart @coopuk @sainsburys embracing this tool? 
Here are a few reasons: 🍅Creates greater visibility throughout supply chains
🍑Shares farming history & journey of products with consumers for provenance
🌶Improves inventory management to mitigate food waste! (FYI 1/3 of food produced globally is wasted & £20billion annually in the UK alone )
🍓Verifies & monitors suppliers to the highest benchmark (environmental, social & quality control) 🍎Enhances value of produce & organic farming/ingredients
🥕Manage distribution/returns for eco efficiency

I dream of @bbcradio4 - Christmas comes early 🥰🎧🎤 Live on 20th & 27th December. Fashion faces the fundamental challenge of surplus fabrics. 🧶🧵👗Did you know $120 billion worth of excess textiles sit in warehouses around the world?!! Diffusing blockchain technology, companies such as @queenofraw are combatting this waste. They are a marketplace that utilises data to rescue fabrics, pairing them with new users & making the materials readily available. 💧🌐They save 700 gallons of water per yard purchased & have already saved over 1 billion  gallons of water thus far. Not to mention preventing all the excess materials from heading to landfill to reduce environmental impacts.

By utilising this tool they increase transparency & traceability of the beloved jewels across the value chain from mining to end consumer! 🛠💎⚖️The technology has altered the ability to track the carats of the beloved bling from only above 10.8 carats now to 5-10.8!
