In the same minimalist vein as in previous years I have once again, instead of spending money on Christmas cards and gifts, made a Christmas donation to a charity this year.
In light of the increasingly palpable consequences of climate change, I’ve chosen WWF, an organisation that pushes for a reduction in carbon emissions and presses for measures to help everyone on Earth live sustainably.
WWF has been engaging with leading businesses and government leaders for many decades to prepare for the massive changes lying ahead and to reduce the emissions that are driving us towards a climate catastrophe.

| We are the last generation that can avert the impending catastrophic effects of climate change |
Recent events have frighteningly brought home to us that climate change is – inevitably and irreversibly – upon us now! Its effects, which are hitting us earlier than anticipated, are serious and becoming more calamitous.
It’s worth bearing in mind that we are the last generation that can avert the impending catastrophic effects of climate change. Tackling climate change will require action by everyone of us, and WWF emphasises that we have the knowledge and the tools to reduce our impact on the climate.
If this charitable cause appeals to you, too, you can donate to WWF here.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all readers of my blog a wonderful, hopefully Covid-free Christmas and a happy, healthy new year.
