A tricky thing to reconcile about an appropriate climate change action is its effect on the ones you love. We are not all the same, and we do not have the same commitment towards the environment, nor towards how to give gifts as a way to communicate love.
You have an opportunity through gift giving to make an impact both for the people you love, and by yourself. Spend some time thinking of gifts that can change their habits towards the environment and make their lives better. Also, think about how to react to gifts that you do not need.
The impacts are on more than one person, so putting this into practice creates a ripple effect from your friends and family outward.
