I’m writing this blog post a little later than I had originally planned, but as time no longer seems to behave itself in 2020 I’m sure you won’t mind too much. As the festive season approaches and the recent UK gov announcements have thrown a spanner in the works for many (I won’t be getting into my views on this as it’s not relevant to this post). I send my best wishes to you all especially those who are struggling this year.
The festive season, particularly over the past few years, has made me more aware of less eco-friendly activities that take place. Of course, people want to celebrate and give gifts but there are kinder ways to do so and quite frankly, we are at the point where greater changes in our lives need to be made. Ultimately, if we all went back to living off grid, with no more plastic, pollutants etc, never exchanging man-made products again, the Earth would be better off. However, I do not expect this to happen.
