Whether you are a “it’s November 1st, time to break out the Christmas Decorations!” or strictly “Not until after Thanksgiving thankyouverymuch” the holidays are fast approaching. This year I’m looking to be more sustainable in all that I do, so naturally this holiday season I’m on the hunt for sustainably sourced holiday decorations.
Normally I’ve been a wait until after Thanksgiving kind of gal for my Christmas decorations. But since it’s 2020, there’s a pandemic, a crazy election, and life just doesn’t seem normal, I’m ready to jump to the holidays right now.
I’ve rounded up some adorable AND sustainably sourced holiday decorations that are sitting in my cart as we speak (re: as I type). All these items are so cute and I feel good knowing they were all sustainably sourced. All of these can be found at Pottery Barn, and you can read more about their sustainable initiatives here. *Also I should note this is NOT a sponsored post and Pottery Barn did NOT pay me to write this. I just like sharing where I see sustainability becoming more accessable to the masses.
In a nutshell here’s what Pottery Barn is doing to be more sustainably minded and responsible with their products:
- repairing, refurbishing, and sanitizing returned and/or damaged items so that they can be resold and diverted out of landfills.
- partnering with The Better Cotton Initiative to improve cotton farming globally and using responsibly sourced cotton in their items (88% currently, 100% by 2021)
- avoiding harmful chemicals in creating their GREENGUARD Gold-certified furniture.
- Using plastic water bottles to craft
products like recycled-material rugs (10 million water bottles to be exact). - Using responsibly sourced wood for furniture making (42% currently, 50% by 2021).
- Focus on fair trade which helps to empower communities and workers.

Just a friendly reminder the items I have linked here are affiliate links that I use to help support the time I dedicate to researching and writing for you all. I only share products here that I either use myself, or hope to purchase one day because I either LOVE what the brand stands for or find the product conducive to living well. This is no extra expense to you, just a way for brands to say “thanks, Caroline!” when I send my readers their way. You can read more about it in my affiliate disclaimer.
