Planet-friendly
Avoid companies with
a negative track record this Christmas. Avoid multinationals. Use the Guide to find a best buy. You might be looking for soft drinks for example. By choosing Bickford’s over Deep Spring you’re supporting
an Australian owned company with a positive track record. See Soft
Drinks comparison page.
Every
time we buy something, the money we spend endorses a company
and its activities, whether we are aware of it or not. Companies
need our money to stay in business — money talks, and
your dollar literally is your vote.
Out
of the top 100 brands of all food sold in Australian supermarkets,
just 16 are Australian owned, and these are owned by just nine
companies. (See concentration of ownership in our brand owners chart).
Here's our list of recommended GIFT IDEAS for products that are planet-friendly.
Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences. - Eckhart Tolle
Ask yourself what changes may need to happen by you or in you to be happy, to be wise.
