Holiday waste not

October 30, 2008

“last year Australians alone received nearly $1 billion of unwanted christmas presents. in the UK it was £2.3 billion (and 3 million tonnes of waste!). source news.com.au article december 26, 2007, recycleworks.org, independent.co.uk 23 December 2005

The most common unwanted gifts were scented candles, novelty neck ties and foot spas source news.com.au article december 26, 2007″

How can we keep doing this every year at the holidays? Instead why not swear off waste for the holidays? I’m not so sure I want the t-shirt (much less the shipping) but I fully agree with the sentiment on this Australian site. FuckTinsel.com
