A Christmas without AMAZON or BLACK FRIDAY
Christmas is approaching, and so is Black Friday, much to the delight of multinationals like Amazon. This leading American online retailer offers unparalleled services and continues to increase its revenue, even during the COVID-19 crisis. But what about the overconsumption it encourages, its environmental impact, and the working conditions it provides? In this video, I'm sharing some alternatives for consuming differently and making Christmas a less commercial and more humane celebration =)
