5 little things to help the world this Christmas
I was thinking about how I can have a good Christmas while doing a few things (that everyone can do) that will make a difference…
1. Buy some presents from the Oxfam shop.
2.Choose only FREE RANGE turkey and ham. Most good butchers will stock free range stuff and you won’t end up eating tortured or imported meat!
3. Recycle your cards, and buy others that support a charity. You can also plan a tree like the ones available at www.solutionliving.com.au, and fold your Christmas paper up to reuse it next year!
4. Influence and educate friends by buying them eco-conscious gifts.
5. Don’t buy puppies for Christmas… or, if you do, rescue one from a home (not a pet shop) and realise that you will have a big smelly dog in about 4 months. You will have to walk it every day, and pick up its poo everyday, too – it’s worth every minute but requires dedication!
If everyone did just one of these things the world would be a better place.
Most of all have fun this Christmas and enjoy the precious time with your families.
