Choices 7. Season's Greetings 2020 - Together Apart!

What is the best gift you can give to your loved ones? How can we celebrate with fewer environmental impacts and more love?

In this episode we focus on life cycle analysis, beliefs and a bit of reminiscence

We recorded this episode on 6th December. The UK government had given permission for ‘Christmas bubbles’… as you'll hear our resident scientist, Sabine, was not convinced….she didn’t think permission meant it was a good idea.  

Now that “Christmas is cancelled in the UK”, it is more important than ever to think about what it is we are meant to celebrate this of year. 

December festivities celebrate cleansing, re-start, death and re-birth – closely linked to the change of season and nature.  

Gifting

We talk about the importance of time and love over giftware (like the tat with your name on it); about regifting something you loved and how about the gift of a donation?  The following are some opportunities to donate in the UK:

Choose love that sends presents to refugees – especially good for that person you know who has everything  

Trussell Trust enables you to donate centrally or find your local food bank – especially if you don’t want to eat when your neighbours go without 

Woodland Trust – to plant a tree to commemorate 2020? The end of. 

Good Law project – uses law  to uphold democracy, protect the environment and ensure no one is left behind – especially if you’re not happy about recent government procurement
