It's something we think a lot about as a family... for a start we try to treat illness naturally as much as possible and we're certainly glad to be vegetarian... but would always urge anyone eating meat to really consider where they source it from (for a number of reasons, one being health).

We have so much less stuff now and we think so much harder before we buy more stuff. In a world where people seem to buy and dispose of 'stuff' with such flippancy, it feels strange to be where we are. I think that if more people could be educated about the importance of valuing better quality over cheap quantity, we could certainly start to make a dent in the rubbish we throw away in that regard... i know there are a zillion things we could all be doing better, but trying to produce less rubbish is something I think we can all easily partake in.

Many of the comments focused on the failings of the Indian government to enforce safe working practices and child labour rules, which I totally agree with, but also the responsibility must surely be shared a little by all of us. If we buy cheap bangles then some-one somewhere has to produce them cheaply.<br />When did we become so uncaring about the effects of our actions on others? My hope is that change can come not only by better policing of laws designed to protect vulnerable people but also by each one of us making mindful decisions about what we buy and how much stuff we actually need.<br />Thank you again for the post, we need to be reminded of these issues.willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818659940895641160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741946524740642424.post-77730664456648606072012-12-22T06:33:20.129-08:002012-12-22T06:33:20.129-08:00Peace and joy to you also, this Christmas, Peter.

To put yourself out there, to push your own self to the background to help those more in need... well, it's good to know that there are people like you out there. There is most certainly a difference between want and need - I only wish that more of society would get a grasp of this concept. Wishing you a love-filled Christmas.
