Looking for eco-friendly advent calendars to use to countdown to Christmas? There are some great options out there that you will love.
Advent is starting very soon. And I’ve always enjoyed advent calendars, it’s a fun way countdown the days. When I was a kid our neighbor would always give my brother and me an advent calendar.
I always loved opening the windows each day. Since she largely started this tradition for me I still think of her when I get advent calendars now.
Many advent calendars are filled with cheap, unhealthy, and unethical chocolate. Thankfully there are many great eco-friendly options out there. These are six of my favorites.
