Vistvæn jól

4. desember 2007 - Vistvernd í verki

This picture is borrowed from the sister-organisation of Landvernd, Grönn Hverdag in Norway. Grönn Hverdag has established an interesting webpage about how to celebrate Christmass in an ecological way. See more. Christmass is not least a festival of consumerism. People go from shop to shop in search of sumptuous presents, intended for friends and loved ones. The Christmass panic is always increasing and the flow af advertisements both throught the letterbox and on TV reaches Amazonian proportions. All those presents and packages require enormous amounts of packaging and plastics. What is all the packaging for? There is no obvious answer to that question, but someone is making a profit, that´s for sure. What about giving other kinds of presents this Christmass? What about presenting to your spouse a trip to the theater, a night a the opera or a luxurious dinner at a restaurant? What most people are desperately lacking is time, not money, so what about giving some time of your life to your loved ones as the most precious present of all. More information about Christmass, see here.
