I read an article today that Norwegian kids get an average of 10 kilo toys on Christmas. Each year we import 20 kilo toys per kid, 10 kilos are bought through the year. These are figures that the organization Future in our hands have gathered.
10 kilos!
What signals do we send our kids by doing this, it is a great pleasure to see a kid unwrap a present but… When you see them sweathing and unwraps one by one like they were in a factory I begin to wonder. Do we hurt our kids by overdoing the pleasure of giving them gifts?
In the end I think we do, I think they won’t be able to appriciate being given to anymore and that is something we shouldn’t mess with. Not only that, we sponsor the pollution of our planet by importing goods from all over the planet using non environmental friendly transport. We mess with their personality and we pollute their future. Merry Christmas!
What could we do about this?
