I just wanted to post something that always gets to me this time of year....
Christmas is a holiday that encourages us to be generous with one another, and it feels good to give... But it is also a hectic time, and sometimes we lose the site of doing it responsibly, globaly.
Most don't consider the impact their purchases have on the environment, or their communities. The wrapping paper, boxes, and trees that fill the landfills after the holiday rush is just a bump on the surface.
I'd like to encourage people to think about some alternatives to shopping in the big box stores, where most of the merchandise is made overseas.
Here's a link to some ideas on how to keep your Christmas out of the stores. If you have any ideas that aren't on here, feel free to post.
Merry Christmas!
