Is there a link between happiness and sustainable families/communities? I wonder if we all gave up the desire to own stuff, ask Santa for a wide screen TV, dream of a fast car, wish for a bigger fridge with an ice machine… would we all be happier?

How many friendships are formed between kids who go to school using walking trains rather than those on the backseats of Chelsea tractors? Or relationships cemented as a church or village hall community collaborates to raise money for solar thermal heating system?

Your thoughts…

• resourceful and happy
• green is beautiful
• climate remorse or use your resource

And where is everyone going for Christmas? At Christmas we tend to visit our relatives – sometimes this means flying abroad but generally we drive or take public transport to see our sisters, brothers, cousins and mothers.

Do we regard this as holiday? If Christmas were in August perhaps it would feel more like a holiday and be spent walking in the Welsh hills, the Lake District, along the Cornish coast or the Norfolk fens, negating the need for expensive flights to foreign sun. The UK is a fantastic holiday destination isn’t it?
