Merry Christmas Mother Earth

Christmas is undoubtedly the most widely celebrated event in the world because of its important religious significance and its phenomenal commercial success. In Singapore, as in almost every country in the world, presents will be bought and wrapped in the hundreds of thousands and even millions. With many shopping Centres providing complimentary Christmas gift wrapping service, shoppers take advantage of this free service to gift wrap items of all sizes. The total amount of gift wrappers discarded after Christmas is horrendous and have escalated over the years. The number of trees felled and the environmental impact of this on our fragile planet is incongruous with the spirit of hope and thoughtfullness of this season.

This year, give Mother Earth a present: DON'T GIFT WRAP IT.
