A Transition Christmas Pledge

If you have been into any shopping center recently you would have sensed that Christmas is just around the corner.

With that it is expected that you will spend an astronomical amount of money on an extraordinary amount of things you don’t need. And all that “Stuff” will come packaged in a multitude of plastics and boxes, which will fill your recycling bins to the brim for the next few collections (if it is recyclable).

This Christmas will you embrace the consumerist attitude we are all lead to believe we must have, or will you buy meaningful and useful gifts, from local businesses (or make your own) and celebrate being with family and loved ones and focus on the things that money can’t buy?
