thinking about how I can have a good Christmas while doing a few things that everyone can do that will make a difference ....
- Buy some presents from the Oxfam shop.
- Choose only FREE RANGE turkey and ham - most good butchers will stock the free range stuff and you won't end up eating tortured or imported meat!
- Recycle your cards and buy cards that support a charity or plan a tree like the ones available at http://www.solutionliving.com.au/ and fold your Christmas paper up re use it next year!
- Influence / educate friends by buying them eco conscious gifts
- 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 a bout 4 months timethat you have to walk every day and pick up it's 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.
