Going to participate once again in the Doomsday Consumer Fest that Christmas has become or try do things differently this year?
Buy-Nothing Xmas is the surest way to leave a zero-footprint on the planet. But truth is, not everyone is ready to go cold Tofurky regarding branded gift giving.
Nevertheless, each of us can still make a radical move by upholding this single vow. Repeat the following out loud in front of a witness:
 |
| Mama, can I get a "Plus Size Barbie" this year? I cleaned my plate (HuffPost) |
“I shall not visit a single mall or box store this Christmas. I hereby swear off Amazon (with its links to the CIA) and all of the other online mega stores! I pledge to go indie-local or bust!”
 |
| Festivus for the rest of us? FOX says no! |
Avoiding the nerve centers of vulture-corporate-capitalism. Go local and indie with every gift bought. This magically changes moods and injects authentic spirit into gift-hunting.
And while in a tone-shifting mood, why not slip a paper bill into the hands of the next homeless person encountered? Or to a favorite NGO. Or to a meditation center. Or donate time... More
