Agreed...Greetings--I hope your holiday went well. <br /><br />Agreed. The season is known for people overdoing it--eating too much, drinking too much, spending too much. But the actual waste--leftovers that never get eaten, and the ratio of trash to gifts (I've reckoned the empty boxes, tissue paper and wrap are something like 2:1 the volume of the "keepers")--is something people can get a better lock on. We can give more of ourselves, and less "stuff".

W...Excellent advice about Christmas trees, Vixen. <br /><br />We keep filling our landfills with huge amounts of junk swelling the size. At our house we have taken to gifting people with cards for Starbucks and restaurants to cut down on the clutter and give people gifts they enjoy for a number of months.<br /><br />Our consumerism culture keeps swelling the number of gadgets that have to be replaced when new models with new apps are promoted by their media saturation campaigns. One way to avoid cluttering up the planet is to give gifts that don't require more storage space for physical objects. Materialism always drags spontaneously in the direction of down.Formerly Amherstnoreply@blogger.com
