At Christmas time,
When we eat and drink too much,
Can we think for a moment,
About the wonderful world?
Do we need to wrap presents
In acres of packaging?
Will it make Christmas any less special
If our presents go unwrapped?
Let’s enjoy time together
Using trains, buses and bikes,
Cut down on the traffic,
And avoid taking flight.
Spend time at home
Enjoying your family time,
Use a little less energy,
Don’t order everything online.
Make things and share things,
Sing songs and watch films,
Think of the climate,
And have a lovely, climate-friendly holiday.
(I deliberately did not rhyme this poem as I feel we cannot always control things. Sometimes we just have to do our utmost)
