    "The befana comes at night with her shoes all broken her dress trullalla the befana here she is!" Like every year, the flying old woman riding her broom is about to arrive. Bad or not, in the stocking hanging on the fireplace we will find sweets, candies, chocolate and something hard and black too! But if you don't like coal, sugar or real, here are some tips to make your sock as eco-friendly as possible.



    By now it is not difficult to find shops or supermarkets equipped with Organic products o / e solidarity. Biscuits and chocolate are therefore produced with ingredients grown respecting nature, without residues of pesticides or synthetic chemical fertilizers and at the same time favoring the development of small productive communities in the southern hemisphere recognizing them equal dignity and opportunity.

    In the alternative sock, therefore, you will not only find natural delights for the palate but also a important message: the fight against exploitation and poverty linked to economic, political or social causes is possible! And if the environment also benefits from it, we are all happier.

    Our loved ones will be able to find coffee, tea, brown sugar, cocoa and, why not, crafts exotic.

    Other particularly healthy products to hang on the fireplace can be honey, the Quinoa, barley, dried fruit (cashews, raisins, mango), infusions (karkadè, chamomile, mint), spices (pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg).

    And if you really can't give up discarding our little delicacies, don't worry! All organic and fair trade products can be found, as we have seen for the treats of ethical Christmas, in the form of chocolate and chocolates, nougat, candies, biscuits, hazelnut cream, instant drinks, fruit juices, or muesli. Obviously for the sock, in the name of the environment, it is better to dust off the old traditions and to prefer the recycling of old socks, perhaps DIY decorated with recycled materials as always giving bottom to your imagination.
