Why do we give gifts? A quick re-think on "spending".

If you do nothing else today watch The story of stuff (short intro version 2 Minutes 37 Seconds) If you don't want to link direct then please search "the story of stuff- intro".

Basically we buy stuff, we consume stuff, waste is created...what happens is this...where does it go?What can we do? RETHINK how we spend our money. We are the "consumers", our money is our vote. Our actions matter. We can make a difference in real terms!
 (this is a random image of "the day after Christmas", we all know it, we've all been part of it.)

So what now...turn your head, walk away, buy a novelty item that claims "green", "eco" ? Don't answer in words, answer in actions, simple, achievable little changes to habits and ways of thinking.
