[081] MAKE A START ON A SUSTAINABLE(ISH) CHRISTMAS
Today I’ve got a solo episode for you – I’d like to try and pretend it was planned, but the reality is obviously that I failed spectacularly to plan ahead enough to have a guest for this week.
Sooooooooo, I’m diving right on into the C-word.
No, not corona virus.
No, not that one, go and wash your moth out.
I’m talking Christmas. Of course I am.
There will be some of you who are saying "Why the hell are you talking about Christmas, it’s November” and there will be others saying “Well you’re a bit late love, I’m all done and dusted and the tree’s going up this weekend”. So essentially I’ve just realised that this is probably an episode that is going to please no-one but I’m going to plod on because as I said, I haven’t got a guest for you this week. Sorry about that.
It can indeed be the most wonderful time of year. Especially if you’re under the age of about twelve, but it can also be hugely stressful, and one of the most wasteful times of the year.
Join me as I share some thoughts around how to make a start making Christmas this year a bit more sustainable(ish).
Enjoy!
