The next question is: are you a climate activist/eco warrior? And have you ever thought how Christmas and climate change could... connect? Think about it. Millions of presents bought every year for Christmas, maybe covered in plastic or bought with a plastic bag. And then either loved, liked, or tossed away without a thought. Unless those presents were eco-friendly, imagine the plastic that wasn't used or recycled.
Do you ask for many presents each year? What's your average amount, six, nine, twelve...? If you were trying to be environmentally friendly, would that change lower or higher? Or would it stay the same? If you haven't got the point already, what I'm trying to say is that we need to lower how many presents we're asking for. (Just saying, if you have already got not that many presents on your list then your fine🙃) .
A way you can keep your presents to a minimum is to:
- You could put all the presents you'd want onto a list and order them from most-wanted to least-wanted. Then take off the ones at the bottom (the ones you don't really want) and you have less on your list already! Then people will know what things you most want and will buy less things that you're really happy to get instead of more things that you don't really want.
- You may have heard of this idea already, but another way is to use the 'want, need, wear, read.' method. Now, you may be thinking, 'but that doesn't shorten the amount of presents on your list!' and it doesn't really, but it does if you make sure you have a maximum of, maybe, two in each box. I used this last year and this year and it helped a lot!👍
Thank you for reading this post (I hope I didn't put you off by all the questions at the start!!) and see you next Sunday then!
