Black Friday feels, local shopping feels, and happy holidays
It's December 1st, so I guess that means it's time to officially accept the holiday spirit (though, I love anything and everything peppermint, and have been on that kick since after Halloween).
However, with the holidays, comes a high degree of consumption, especially for holidays like Black Friday and Boxing Day, as well as Christmas gift shopping, party preparations, and whatnot.
It's hard for me to not feel a little salty about all the excess and waste, as well as people buying gifts simply for the sake of buying a gift and whatnot. Yet, I think there can be ways to mitigate the environmental harm done on these holidays. Shopping locally, and supporting businesses around you is not only a more sustainable option, it can also be great for building relationships within your community.
