I thoroughly dislike Christmas cards........ complete waste of trees!
Okay BoXXi, but you could find cards that are made out of recycled product, couldn't you?
I'm with BoXXi on this one! Even recycled card means that trees had to be cut down originally... and with the amount of wrapping paper/cards over X-mas, not to mention tons upon tons of paper going into Christmas advertising, it's bloody disgusting.
It's bad enough that the corporate world has raped, pillaged and desecrated the planet, purely to profit, now we're being expected by the powers-that-be to pay for its greed, through such schemes as ETS (Emissions Trading Scheme). The World's forests and jungles are important... no, essential to our atmosphere and preventing global warming, yet millions of trees are felled annually to make paper/card that is simply thrown away.
Nope, I (personally) refuse to send Christmas/Birthday cards...and all my family/friends know not to send them to me... cos even recycled ones mean trees had to die.
Sorry to put a damper on things, folks, but the continual plundering of the planet's natural resourses is of great concern to me.
