Last Christmas I had to give up and admit that I had not made my contribution on World Orgasm for Peace Day. For some reason 4 o’clock on 22nd December has been reserved for this purpose and surprisingly I had a million other things to do two days before Christmas. Unfortunately this year I failed again. Having just been dumped, and not a big fan of one-night afternoons, I surrendered to the fact that I wouldn’t be making a contribution to world peace this year either and left work early to do some Christmas shopping instead.
And that was when I realized that I just had to be a little bit creative. And no, I am not talking about peace orgasms, just of peace in general. With this year’s Nobel Peace Prize going to Al Gore and the UNPCC the Nobel Committee has created a new understanding of what leads to peace. Being environmental friendly. And those of us who haven’t the time or necessities to make an orgasm contribution have been given another chance to contribute to world peace that doesn’t involve sexual activities. What the Nobel Committee’s stand on peace orgasms is I am not quite sure…
But with this widening of the peace definition I can at least make my contribution through environmental friendly Christmas presents. And at the same time make up for the fact that I have a car, a small rainforest worth of books and magazines and like to keep my bedroom at a snug 22 degrees throughout the winter. Besides with the long distance boyfriend out of the equation I can get myself a much more environmental local version that I don’t have to get on a plane to see.
For a moment I considered buying some of these virtual goats from a humanitarian organization for the whole family, but then decided it was so last year. So in my desperate search for the ultimate climate present I ended up on the website of an organization called the Future in Our Hands. For the last ten years it has been promoting the Buy Nothing Day. This has only been a limited success as they have decided to set the date just before Christmas. If it was up to me I would have been a lot more realistic and put it to January or something when people have no money anyway.
This year they have also published a list of environmental friendly Christmas gifts. And right there in between the CO2 quotas and the studs for your bike tyres to make it winter proof I found the g-string. They are apparently very climate friendly. The argument being that the less cotton that is used the more environmental friendly it is.
One look in my underwear draw reveals that I have been environmental friendly all along. Sod the goats; I have made a difference after all.
And now I also know what to buy everyone this year. Very Happy Christmas!
