The do-gooders should leave our festivals alone! Ok Christmas is not sustainable because of all the electricity that is used in this particular time of the year, people tend to have their heating on constantly, because it is cold, however Christmas is about all the bright lights in widows, on doors and Christmas on trees. Without this it wouldn’t feel Christmassy…

Christmas lights gets you in the mood of Christmas, it brightens the winter up, Christmas lights puts a smile on children’s faces, ( some adults too) some displays are absolutely beautiful and it’s a shame you only get to see them once a year.
I suppose this is a contribution to being sustainable by taking your Christmas lights down, not having them up all year round. Christmas is only once every year so some may argue that it is sustainable, because it is not a daily thing.

Christmas is a time to relax with family and friends, over eat and spend money on those whom they care about, or give to those who do not have. Christmas is important to families who see it as a very important cultural period.

The way I see it is the Medias job to put headlines that get the publics attention to inform them with shocking headlines.EVERYONE knows that climate change is BIG issue! The point is do people care?

I think people are aware of climate change and don’t care. They don’t contribute to making it a better sustainable planet. If people had to choose between a sustainable program or the X-factor finals they will more than lightly choose X factor..

The media has a job to do they need to make money and have targets and figures to reach , which involves how many papers they sold or what T.V has the most views.
This will not happen if it’s on sustainable development because its not catching the viewers eyes.

I don’t think the media are doing enough to promote sustainable development but they can not risk writing headlines and putting shows ahead because they may in deed loose out on a lot of money.

Time is money and the media can’t waste time on wondering to write about sustainable development and if it’s going to be a big seller of the month. It is not time consuming and it is not money wise, which is pretty sad.. Watching X-factor doesn’t make the world a better place or improve your life the slightest bit
