    In the interest of climate justice and saving the planet I am wondering what gifts to give that will raise awareness about the catastrophic climate change. I was thinking of framing pictures of Greta looking stern and wrapping them in newspaper, preferably the Guardian or the Irish Times. I also think Brussels sprouts are unsustainable, fields and fields full of miniature cabbages that ultimately end up in the bin.

    I think you should get yourself a few "herbal" cigarettes and chill out a bit

    It was traditional here to spark up a big doob and listen to Snoop Dogg after dinner. Sadly this year I have become aware that Snoop is actually unsustainable and it just wouldn't be the same. Have you seen the size of his entourage?

    A bamboo toothbrush is a good one. Make sure it has been flown in from China though.

    A razor blade and a note reminding to slice with the grain, not across it.

    It would be like having a bespoke eco alexa mooching around your house while raising awareness.

    Good idea, encourage carbon sequestration in the household. I wouldn't recommend burning it unless it is performance art.

    The .mantra of reduce, reuse, recycle is a core pillar of spreading awareness.

    Mod: Jimmy Garlic, just because you got banned from the Greta thread in CA doesn't mean you can Greta troll in another forum
